This exquisite woodblock print by the renowned Shin-hanga artist Rakuzan Tsuchiya showcases the delicate beauty of Cattleya and Dendrobium Speciosum orchids. Measuring 11 1/2 x 17 inches, the print has been cut from a larger portfolio, making it an appealing bookplate for collectors of botanical art. The paper displays significant toning, providing a desirable uniform tan background, while multiple instances of foxing can be observed, particularly affecting the green leaves of the orchids. Despite these age-related attributes, the intricacies of the print shine through and demonstrate Rakuzan's celebrated artistry. Rakuzan Tsuchiya (土屋 楽山, 1896-1976), born Tsuchiya Kōitsu, was a prominent figure in the Shin-hanga movement and studied under the esteemed Takeuchi Seihō. His exceptional floral prints like this one were published in his famous 'Rakuzan Kachō Gafu' series. A must-have for enthusiasts of Japanese woodblock prints and botanical subjects alike.
