You are bidding on a very beautiful, colorful and rare original Japanese woodblock print masterpiece “Circus” signed by the famous Showa Sosaku Hanga woodblock print master Kawanishi Hide (1894-1965). The size of this woodblock print is 16 1/4 x 13 1/2 inches. The artist’s chop mark is at the lower right corner of the border. Another chop mark is close to the upper middle right edge. There is written in pencil “ 44/150” at the left end of the bottom border, which means “the 44th print out of 150 prints” The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. All four borders are intact. This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding can be seen through the back of print. As far as I can tell, there are no defects, foxing, or stains, this woodblock print is in excellent condition.
