Artist: Kawase Hasui Title: Tenno Temple, Osaka Medium: Original Japanese Woodblock Print Series Title: Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series Edition First: State, Square "B" Seal Date: 1927 Publisher: S. Watanabe Reference No: Hotei #135 Size: 15 x 10 -1/4 " Condition: Fine; toned with superb colors. Notes: Early, S. Watanabe "B" square seal. A unique trial impression, with unusual seal combination and number notation (as shown in detail). Reverse seals read: "Hanga #12". "Proof/test". "Shigeyasu Mitsuzo". Narazaki describes this print: 'A man is dressed in a full-length coat and holds an umbrella as he walks across fallen snow. The vermillion-lacquered corridor of the Tenno temple stands somewhat apart, the Kondo hall superimposed over the five-storied pagoda. Both hall and pagoda tower against the cold snowy sky. The three layers of bokashi are skillfully executed and are effective in contributing to the mood of the work'. |
