| Notes (1st edition) | There are two colour variant for this scene: green kimono (said to date to 1933 and maybe titled "In early summer") and blue kimono with unknown printing date (has been listed as dating to 1955, but a publisher note for the print lists Shinsui's death in 1972, so it must be a post 1972 printing by Baba). There is also a chance that there were two post-war editions: 1955 and >1972. I need to confirm the dating of the green variant. The blue kimono variant with dating of 1955/>1972 makes it one of the last printings by Baba. If the green kimono edition dates to 1933 it would be one of the earliest printings by Baba (probably Baba's father of Baba Seizando). | ||

Original Ito Shinsui (1898 - 1972) Japanese Woodblock Print Yu Suzumi, 1933 Comments - Lovely shin hanga portrait of a beauty enjoying the evening cool. She looks pensively over her shoulder as she plays with the handle of a round fan between her hands. She wears a soft blue kimono over a red under robe with a blue collar, tied with a floral obi. Her hair is pulled back into a large sleek bun with wings on the side, adorned with a comb and simple hairpins. Sections of the hair are burnished to add a subtle sheen. This design was originally issued under the title "In Early Summer" (Shoka no koro) and published by Katsumura. This lifetime impression is from a limited edition of 50 prints published by Baba Nobuhiko in 1955 (Showa 30) [No, probably after 1972!]. See publisher's certificate below (not included), with impressed publisher and date in the print margins. A beautiful classic image by this shin hanga master. Artist - Ito Shinsui (1898 - 1972) Image Size - 12" x 16 1/4" Condition - This print with excellent color and detail. No issues to report. |
