Japanese woodblock print Rainy Washday by Shotei (Hiroaki). Single-owner sale, from the same G.I.’s estate as last week, an impressive collection of Watanabe tourist prints. Stored in his trunk in their original tissue wrapping, they are all pre-war, guaranteed, and in fresh, uncreased condition. Thanks to Marc Kahn for his website www.shotei.com. Last of the Shotei/Hiroaki prints. Sudden shower. M-72. Very good impression, fine color, light mica, a few faint creases at the corner tips. Marc said this was a variant state of a rare print. 15 1/2” x 6 7/8”. Published by Watanabe in the 1930s. |
ARTIST: Shotei. SIZE: 7.5" x 15.5" DATE: 1923. DESCRIPTION: Sudden Shower. PUBLISHER: Watanabe. CONDITION: Some fading and light toning. Very good impression. |
