This beautiful Japanese woodblock print is by Tomiya Oda (1895-1990). This work is an excellent example of the fine bijn-ga prints (beautiful woman prints) produced by shin hanga artists. Oda was an excellent, but not prolific artist. This is an excellent example of his work. I have seen the print titled “woman Enjoying the Evening Cool”, but I am not sure if that is its formal title. In any case it is a beautiful print. It is a large oban print, measuring 16” x 10” the image (17 1/4” x 10 7/8” the sheet. It is in very good to excellent condition. It is untrimmed, with no stains. There are a few very subtle creases in the upper part of the print that appear to be part of the printing process. As well, there is a very subtle mat line on the right edge that appears to have affected the green of the bench immediately above and below the fan resting on the bench. It is about 1/8” in from the edge of the image. |
