Description:
This is, in my estimation, the most beautiful print ever from the hand of contemporary printmaker Paul Binnie. The print is entitled Akafuji (Red Fuji), an homage both to the early landscape prints of Hokusai and the shin hanga masterpieces of Yoshida and Hasui. Akafuji will not be released to the general public until after the first of the year (assuming that there are any left of the edition of 100 at that time). For the first buyers, including the buyer of this print, Mr. Binnie has included a small surimono woodblock printed bookplate (ex libris) as a special gift. Akafuji measures approximately 15 x 10" plus margins. It is pencil signed and numbered 7/100. Color and impression are superb; condition is impeccable. Destined to be a sought-after classic example of Japanese printmaking!
