Description

This stunning Japanese woodblock print created by Shiro Kasamatsu features the picturesque 'Kegon Waterfall, Nikko' (日光華厳ノ瀧). Measuring 11 x 16 inches, this artwork exhibits staining in the margins and rubbing, conditions that add to its unique character. The print is pencil-signed by the artist in the bottom margin and includes the rectangular publisher's seal of Watanabe Shōzaburō, indicating it is a lifetime edition from 1946-1957. Unfortunately, the reverse side shows significant paper thinning and skinning, likely due to improper removal from a backing. Shiro Kasamatsu (1898–1991) was a prominent figure in the shin-hanga ('new prints') and sōsaku-hanga ('creative prints') movements, known for his captivating landscapes and depictions of Japanese life. An excellent addition for collectors, despite its condition.
