Shotei Hiroaki Spring Evening Japanese Woodblock Print Stunning Artwork

Product ID: 242052666

Description

This exquisite Japanese Woodblock Print by Takahashi Shōtei, also known as Hiroaki, measures 8 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches, with the image size being 14 x 5 3/4 inches. It features a beautiful depiction of a lone figure under blooming cherry blossoms at night, showcasing the classic theme of yozakura. The print is backed and matted, adding to its elegance. The piece exhibits age-related toning, enhancing its historical character, and minor spotting/foxing is noted upon close inspection, though it remains visually striking. The artist's signature 'Shōtei' in the lower right corner indicates it is a sought-after pre-earthquake work (pre-1923). Perfect for collectors of Shin-hanga and traditional Japanese art, this piece encapsulates the beauty of the era and would make a remarkable addition to any collection.
