| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | Monday, 12 February 2007 I found this woodblock and many others recently at the estate of an antique dealer. Most of the woodblocks were purchased in the very early fifties. I do not know the name of the artist for this small woodblock but it was designed after "Moonrise at Tokumochi" by Takahashi Shotei (1871 - 1945). Condition: Fine impression and colors, narrow margins, else fine condition. Size: 5.5" by 3.5" Rare Signature in the upper right, seal in the botton left |
Up for bids is an original Japanese woodblock print. It is one of a set of three, each signed by a different artist, and I have the other two listed as well. The size of the image, not including the narrow border, is 3 ¼” by 5 ¼”, and the size of the paper the print is mounted on is 4 5/8” by 7”. The print is tacked to the paper at the two upper corners and when the print is lifted, you can see the ink bled on the underside. This print is signed (see close-up), but I am unable to identify the name. I don’t know its age. It is in excellent condition. |
