| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | Original Mori Masamoto (1912 - ?) Japanese Woodblock Print Sacred Bridge, Nikko, 1953 Mori Masamoto - Very little is known about the artist Mori Masamoto other than that he was born in 1912, and he designed several landscape prints for Adachi Publishing in the 1950s. His shin-hanga images are beautifully rendered with wonderful attention to detail and a subdued palette of colors. Woodblock prints by Mori are quite rare and hardly ever seen on the market. His attractive, large format scenes would make a terrific addition to any shin-hanga collection. Publisher - Adachi, with red seal in left margin Artist - Mori Masamoto (1912 - ?) Image Size - 16 3/4" x 12 1/4" + margins as shown Condition - This print with nice detail as shown. Tape remnant on reverse at top edge from previous mounting. Small loss at corner, repaired. Toning, a few creases at edges. Please see photos for details. |
