Up for auction is this exceptional antique woodblock print. It is signed but I cannot begin to tell you who did it. I have three pictures of the signature, which is in black on black background, at the far left side of the art. In the frame it is approximately 21" Wide and 17" in height. The image area is 15" wide and 10" in height. Absolutely wonderful condition for its age.

Impression: Very Good

Condition/Colour: Fair.

The print has been framed in the past, that's why there is some toning down of the colour, see along the margins for the difference, (caused by exposure to daylight of the print), and there is brown residu (from the framing) along the upper margin and partial for 1 a 2 millimetre in the image.

Some wrinkles in margins,a small crease ( left corner below ). A red seal on reverse (publisher/edition/collector?). Clean on reverse (exclusive upper margin and pencilmarks). Shiny black lacquer colour . Seldom seen and offered on the market and it is a famous classic Shin Hanga print.

Description: A night scene with passers-by, some in western clothing, near a by ' braziers' light up cherry tree.This is a very famous Cherry tree from the 19th century, it still exist. In 2005 I saw this tree in the Maruyama Park in Kyoto.
