A Great Large Orig Japanese Woodblock Print Okuyama Jihachiro Boats (4)
This is an EXTRA LARGE very beautiful and special original Japanese woodblock print “Boats” signed by the famous Showa Shin Hanga woodblock print master Okuyama Jihachiro (1907-1981) made in 1950S. This is an original woodblock print more than 70 years old. This woodblock print is from my family seven-decade old collection of Japanese woodblock prints and Asian Art. To see more on my family Japanese woodblock print and Asian art collection, please search for shinhangagallery.com on Google. The print size is 10 x 19 1/4 inches, which is MUCH LARGER than the traditional Japanese Shin Hanga woodblock prints. The artist’s chop mark is at the lower left corner of the print while the title of the print “Boats” is in the upper right border. The artist’s signature in Japanese is in the lower right border while the artist’s signature in English (Gihachiro Okuyama) is in the bottom border. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers on the original Japanese Washi paper. This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding can be seen through the back of the original Japanese Mulberry Washi paper. Four borders are intact. There is a paper indentation at the middle bottom border of the print, which I believe this has been there since this ORIGINAL woodblock print was first made. Otherwise, this ORIGINAL woodblock print is in excellent condition. It is hard to find an EXTRA LARGE original Japanese woodblock print of such a beautiful and rare scene signed by the famous Showa woodblock print master Okuyama Jihachiro in the public nowadays. This woodblock print is definitely an incredible piece for collecting. Shipping is $16 dollars anywhere in US via USPS priority mail with insurance and tracking.
