Description

This striking Japanese woodblock print measures 10 1/4 x 15 3/4 and is created by the renowned artist Tsuchiya Koitsu. The print features the iconic Ueno Toshogu Shrine during a rain shower, capturing the serene beauty of this Tokyo landmark. However, it does have some condition issues: the print has been trimmed, with the left margin being particularly narrow. There is evidence of rubbing and light scuffing, most noticeable in the dark blue sky area. Fine creases, waviness, and general age-related toning can also be seen on the paper. Despite these imperfections, the colors retain their charm, contributing to the overall nostalgic feel of the artwork. Tsuchiya Koitsu (土屋 光逸, 1870–1949) was a significant figure in the shin-hanga movement, celebrated for his evocative landscapes that masterfully depict atmospheric effects like rain and moonlight.
