"Fushimi no Funayado" (An inn at Fushimi) by Katsuyuki Nishijima. This was a ship inn "TERADAYA" for the transfer of the ship of Yodogawa river of Osaka and Kyoto in those days. By the late Tokugawa period, it is known as an usual lodging of Ryoma Sakamoto. "Teradaya"stays as a hotel still now. Paper lantern says "Teradaya" (name), wooden sign says " Hatago"(An inn with meals). From my own private collection comes this very early work, We believe never before offered to outside Japan. Ca: 1973. Pristine condition, never framed. Hand signed in pencil, hand titled in Japanese in the bottom margin, and hand numbered limited edition 451/500 by the artist. With artist official red seal. Now almost impossible 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 29th 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. There are a few minor foxing on the margin and a few ink smudges into margin which is very typical this artist. Very minor creasing on the right corners from character of this paper. Please see the pictures carefully. Genuine handmade Japanese woodblock print.
