Description:
Prime Kiyoshi Saito Snow Woodblock Print Beautiful woodblock print signed Kiyoshi Saito. Print area measures 10" by 15-1/4". Size with margins measures 11-1/2" by 17-1/4". Lovely snow scene. I removed this from the frame to photograph and will sell it without the frame. Woodblock is taped on the upper and lower margin with masking tape. It cuts in to about 1/4" of the margin. There is a tiny amount of creasing in the upper right hand corner of the margin but does not intrude into the woodblock. Good quality paper with the ink seeping through to the back side in places. Colors are solid, not faded. Overall very good to excellent condition. We removed one side from the foam core backing, lifted it up and discovered tape residue on all four corners in the margins only. It does not show through to the front. There is almost imperceptable toning--very very slight. One has to look very hard to see it.
