This exquisite Japanese woodblock print titled 'Escholtzia Californica' (California Poppy) is by the renowned artist Rakuzan Tsuchiya (土屋 楽山, 1896-1976). He is celebrated for his kachō-ga (bird-and-flower) prints, particularly noted for the 'Rakuzan Kachō Gafu' series published between 1929-1933. The print measures 11 1/2 x 17 inches and has significant age-related toning and several visible stains, particularly in the margins. It has a rough and frayed right edge from being cut out of a larger portfolio and retains a small remnant of binding string on the left edge. Despite its fair condition, this piece remains a beautiful representation of botanical art and is ideal for collectors interested in California-related themes.
