This is a woodblock print more than forty 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. The size of this woodblock print is 10 3/4 x 16 inches. The artist’s chop mark is at the lower right corner of this woodblock print. The publisher Unsodo’s chop mark, carver and printer’s marks are in the lower left border while the name of the flower is in the upper left border. THERE IS AN ORIGINAL UNSODO WATERMARK at the lower left corner in the border. This is the first Kanji character of the name of Unsodo, which means art. In Japan, publishers usually only put this kind of WATERMAK on very expensive woodblock prints. 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 can be seen through the back of the original Japanese mulberry paper. All four borders (margins) of the print are intact. This woodblock print is IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. Shipping is $16 anywhere in US by USPS priority mail with insurance and tracking.
