Hello,
I was looking over you site at Kawano prints. Under the second category you show an untitled print (Black Gloves). I have a limited edition (50/100) of this print. It's title is Sylvan. Also the red seal is on the right side, not the left as shown in your print. It's signed in English and Japanese in the bottom margin and also clearer and much more distinct as befitting the Double-Oban print category. I don't have a photo of it but I thought you might be interested in this information. My parents bought it in either 1950 or 1951 when they lived in Japan.
Regards,
Hi Ross,
The attached photos are taken with my I-Phone. It looks like there are smudges/marks on the print but there are none. They are reflections in the glass or on my phone. The print dimensions are approx 14 x 22 1/4 with approx 1/4 inch white margin, the bottom of which has writing in pencil in order of the photo numbers. I can't answer the last question because it's framed under glass. Is that what you are asking me? I don't like the green matting and I plan to change it at some point. I could take a closer look then.
What are you researching?
Regards,
Mary |
