"Fuyacho no Mise" (Store in Fuyacho) by
Katsuyuki Nishijima. This store is very famous "Tofu" store "Yubahan" since
1716 in Funacho, Kyoto. Noren cloth says "Yubahan"(store name). From my own
private collection comes this very early work, We believe never before offered
to the public. Ca: 1973. Pristine condition, never framed. Hand signed in
pencil, hand titled in Japanese in the bottom margin, and hand numbered limited
edition 219/500 by the artist. With artist official red seal "Nishijima". Now
very hard to find his old prints. Large size: Width
is 18 and 1/4 inches and height is 13 and 1/2 inches. Please note size is a
little larger that his later prints. Nishijima started offering prints in 1972;
this is the 14th subject he produced. Sorry but we have only this one rare copy
to offer.
Wonderful details with strong excellent bold colors and strong ink bleed
through. Some ink smudges which is very typical this artist. Some
minor foxing into margins (almost edge of paper) and very minor creasing on
the margins from character of this paper. They are vey common
and will be easily mat out. Please see pictures very carefully. Genuine
handmade Japanese woodblock print. This is 500 sheet limited
edition by Katsuyuki Nishijima who was born 1945 in Yamaguchi, Japan.
