Description
Japanese Woodblock Print, 1840/50's original, Utagawa School (unsigned), unknown Publisher.
SIZE IN INCHES: 8.5 x 7
PROVENANCE: Military collection--from family of Army serviceman stationed in Tokyo 1946-48.
COMMENTS: From an album of 12 "deluxe" prints protected inside a silk-covered album. Each print loosely end-tipped to a Japanese paper backing. Skillfully printed "bokashi" shading, light "gauffrage" (embossing), "burnishing" to black areas, crisp lines, highly detailed. Silver metallic pigments to background screen. Gold metallic "speckles" to outer surround. Quite clean original vintage print--seldom found in such fine condition.
