Description:
This is an original limited first edition shin hanga Japanese woodblock print by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) titled "Nara". The print was published by Watanabe Shozaburo in 1951. The Narazaki explains that 500 copies of this print and 11 others were attached to a 1952 calendar commissioned by Pacific transport lines in the time honored tradition of "meisho-e" ("pictures of famous views"). The print is in very good condition. Excellent impression, color and registration. Very good bleedthrough. No toning, folds or creases. There are a few barely preceptable spots of foxing on the image and on the margin. The print is not setdown or trimmed. Print size is 10.25" x 15.25"
