"Inokashira no Haru no Yoru" (Spring Night at Inokashira) by
Kawase Hasui (1883-1957). Truly beautiful "bokashi" (gradation
of colors) shading. First printed 1931; this is a later printing from original
blocks by the original publisher. Signed Hasui with red artist seal "sui".
Pristine condition, never framed and full margins. Very faint tiny ink
smudge on the right and bottom margin which is very common. Published by
Watanabe with 7 mm and Watanabe "Heisei" Seal. Paper size is
10 and 1/2 inches by 15 and 5/8 inches. Left margin reads title "Inokashira
no Haru no Yoru" (Spring Night at Inokashira) and date "Showa
6 nen 4 gatsu saku" (Printed April 1931). A true classic Hasui print
of the highest order. Very Japanese mood. Old master quality. Truly beautiful
and romantic spring night scene. |
