A Great Extra LARGE Japanese Woodblock Print Yamanaka Kodo Actress WATERMARK (2)

This is an EXTRA LARGE very beautiful and rare Japanese woodblock print “Actress” signed by the Showa woodblock print master Yamanaka Kodo (1869-1945)  BEARING THE ORIGINAL ISHUKANKOKAI PUBLISHER WATERMARK IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  This woodblock print is from my family seven-decade old collection of Japanese woodblock prints and Asian Art. Yamanaka Kodo is one of the most famous Showa woodblock artists.  His artwork is not easy to see today. The exact same woodblock print can be found at Internet.  This woodblock print has been preserved carefully in my family during the past decades.  The size of this beautiful woodblock print is 19 x 13 inches, WHICH IS LARGER THAN THE TRADITIONAL SHIN-HANGA WOODBLOCK PRINT. The artist’s signature, his chop mark and the publication date are close to the middle-left edge of the print.  The publisher Ishukankokai chop mark and the carver and printer chop seals are in the lower left border while the ORIGINAL ISHUKANKOKAI KANJI PUBLISHER WATERMARK after translation is “MOUNTAIN RESORT” is right below them as shown in the pictures.  Please note that it is not a stain or defect.  Please refer to the picture for a clearer understanding.  Usually publishers only put this kind of watermark on very expensive Japanese woodblock prints in Japan.  The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers.  All four borders are intact.  This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding can be seen through the back of Japanese mulberry paper.  This woodblock print is IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  Any credit card, visa, master card, bank and post office money order, cashier check and personal check are accepted.  Personal checks will take about ten days to clear.  Texas residents need to pay 8.25% tax.  Shipping is $16 dollars anywhere in US via USPS priority mail with insurance and tracking.  International shipping charges are US$25 through airmail WITHOUT insurance, buyers will have to assume all the risks during the mailing.  We do combined shipping.  If more than one item is purchased at the same time, the highest shipping cost will be charged.
