Rakuzan Tsuchiya Caladium Japanese Woodblock Print

Product ID: 242050586

Description

This stunning Japanese Woodblock Print titled 'Caladium' is by the renowned Shin-hanga artist Rakuzan Tsuchiya, active in the 1920s and 1930s. Rakuzan is celebrated for his kachō-e (bird-and-flower pictures) and is known for the 'Rakuzan Kachō Gafu' series, which features delicate representations of various flora and fauna. This particular print, cut from a larger portfolio, exhibits significant age-related toning, resulting in a yellowish-brown appearance across the sheet. The rough right edge suggests it was removed from a portfolio. Minor soft corners and general edge wear, along with small stains and foxing in the margins, can be observed. Its historical significance and collectability make it a compelling addition for any art enthusiast. Dimensions: 11 1/2 x 17 inches.
