This is a Huge very beautiful and special original Japanese woodblock “Don’t Waste Spring” PENCIL SIGNED by the famous Shin-Hanga artist Chizuko Yoshida (1924-) made in 1986. This is an ORIGINAL woodblock print about 33 years old. This woodblock print is from my family seven-decade old collection of Japanese woodblock prints and Asian Art. Chizuko Yoshida is one of the most famous Shin-Hanga woodblock artists in Showa Era. She is also a member of Yoshida family.

The size of this Print is 25 x 17 1/2 inches which is MUCH LARGER than the traditional Shin Hanga woodblock print. The artist’s PENCIL SIGNATURE, the title of this print “Don’t Waste Spring”, LIMITED-NUMBER (31/150) and the year this print was made 1986 are in the bottom border of the print. All four borders are intact. 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 Washi paper.
