This exquisite woodblock print, measuring 10 1/2 x 15 1/2, is by renowned artist Shiro Kasamatsu. Created in 1932, it captures the serene beauty of Shinobazu Pond during spring evening. The print exhibits noticeable age-related toning, especially in the margins, giving it a cream/yellowed appearance. Additionally, there is fading of colors which may lack their original vibrancy. The reverse shows significant fading and some bleed-through of the image, accompanied by a few scattered spots of foxing in the upper corners. While free of major tears or water damage, remnants of paper from prior mounting can be observed at the corners on the back. This print is sought after for its tranquil landscape and masterful light and color. A testament to the shin-hanga movement, it embodies traditional Japanese aesthetics. Artist Shiro Kasamatsu (1898–1991) initially studied under Kaburagi Kiyokata and is celebrated for his rich depictions of Japanese scenes. Don’t miss this chance to own a piece of history.
