To see more on my family Japanese woodblock print and Asian art collection, please search for shinhangagallery.com. The size of this woodblock print is 14 1/4 x 10 3/4 inches. The artist’s signature and his chop mark are at the lower left corner of the circle while the title of the print and the publication date “February Showa 10, 1935” are at the bottom of the circle. There is a Watanabe seal at the lower right corner of the circle and another seal is at the lower left border. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding through can be seen at the back of the print’s Japanese mulberry Washi paper. All four borders are intact. This woodblock print is IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. We are not sure if this woodblock print is an original or later edition. Therefore, we lowered the price considerably.
