This Japanese Woodblock Print by Rakuzan Tsuchiya depicts the beautiful Salvia plant. The print measures 11 1/2 x 17 inches and is from one of Tsuchiya's famous botanical series, likely the 'Rakuzan Kachou Gafu'. It exhibits overall age-related toning, giving the paper a uniform yellowish-tan color, along with scattered light foxing spots in the background. The left edge is rough and slightly uneven, showing signs of careful removal from a bound portfolio, and the corners are slightly soft with a minor ding to the top right corner. Rakuzan Tsuchiya (土屋 楽山, 1896-1976) was a celebrated artist of the Shin-hanga movement, known for his intricate portrayals of nature in the kachō-ga genre. His work is cherished for its delicate color and detail.
