This exquisite Japanese Woodblock Print, titled 'Papaver Somniferum' (Opium Poppy), is by renowned Shin-hanga artist Rakuzan Tsuchiya (1896-1976). Known for his 'kachō-ga' (bird-and-flower prints), Tsuchiya's work beautifully combines traditional Japanese artistry with Western realism. This piece originates from his famous portfolio series 'Rakuzan Kachō Gafu' (c. 1929-1933). The print size is 11 1/2 x 17. The print exhibits moderate toning, reflective of its age, along with a rough, uneven left edge from being cut from a larger portfolio. Some minor foxing spots are visible in the background and margins, but these characteristics add to its historical charm. This is an exceptional piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
