This is an original woodblock print about 50 years old. This woodblock print is one of the core collections of a large number of Asian art and Japanese woodblock print collections in my family. We are gradually selling them. Yuzaburo Kawanishi, the son of Hide Kawanishi, born in 1923, exhibited with Nihon Hanga Kyokai from 1942. His woodblock prints have been collected by many famous museums around the world such as the Tokyo Fine Art Museum and Kobe Modern Art Museum, and have been highly searched for by collectors around the world. Information about Yuzaburo Kawanishi and the prices of his woodblock prints can be easily found on Internet. The size of this woodblock print is 11 x 12 3/4 inches. The artist’s chop mark is at the lower left corner of the print. The artist’s PENCIL SIGNATURE “Y. Kawanishi”, the title of the print “Together with Kobe” and the LIMITED-NUMBER (178/300) are in the bottom border. 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 original mulberry Washi paper. There is a short minor wrinkle in the bottom border, which I believe has been there since this print was first made and does not affect the images.
