Description:
OLD Japanese WOOD BLOCK Print M. Idiyoshi This is a very colorful old woodblock print that is Japanese. It is circa 1940's, and came framed in a frame from that time period. This piece is very colorful, and shows children playing on a teeter-totter sort of plank. There are other adults and children around, and there is a building in the background, perhaps a school group? This piece appears to be rice paper, but it has been mounted to the backing board, and has had the borders cropped. The piece is signed in the bottom right corner, M. Idiyoshi, or Hiyoshi, but I cannot tell which. I think it is the former. There is also a red symbol above the name. The piece is in excellent condition, and is all hand-executed. This measures 14 1/2" wide X 9 1/2" high. It is very nice!
