Up for auction is a stunning posthumous woodblock print by renowned Meiji-era artist Kōno Bairei, depicting the iconic Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto. Measuring 10 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches, this decorative piece showcases Bairei's exceptional talent in portraying landscapes. The paper is clean, with slight toning consistent with age, and no visible tears or foxing on the front. The sharp corners and edges add to its appeal. Note the significant ink bleed-through (ghosting) on the reverse, common for this type of Japanese paper. A pencil notation 'PRINTED 1982' is present, marking it as a posthumous reproduction rather than an original 19th-century piece. This print was likely removed from a portfolio, indicated by the notation 'Vol. III.' A wonderful addition for collectors of Japanese art or Kōno Bairei's work, this print encapsulates the beauty of traditional Japanese woodblock prints.
