Hollyhock Japanese Woodblock Print by Rakuzan Tsuchiya - Shin-Hanga Flower Art

Product ID: 242050593

Description

This stunning 'Hollyhock' Japanese Woodblock Print (ホリホック) by Rakuzan Tsuchiya is part of the celebrated 'Rakuzan Kachō Gafu' series from the late 1920s to early 1930s. The print measures 11 1/2 x 17 inches and features intricate details characteristic of Tsuchiya's work, celebrated for its naturalistic beauty. Please note that this print exhibits overall age-related toning with a yellowed appearance, particularly at the edges. The right edge shows roughness and tearing from being removed from a portfolio, and there are minor foxing spots and soiling in the margins. Despite these condition aspects, the artwork retains its exquisite aesthetic appeal and historical significance. Rakuzan Tsuchiya (土屋 楽山, 1896-1976) was known for his kachō-ga (bird-and-flower pictures) in the shin-hanga style. His works are highly collectible and sought after for their delicate coloration and detailed imagery. Don’t miss the opportunity to acquire this unique piece of Japanese art history.
