Description:

Monday, 27 November 2006 You are bidding on an EXTRA LARGE very beautiful and rare LIMITED-NUMBER original Japanese woodblock print “Willow Bijin” PENCIL SIGNED by the famous Showa Shin Hanga woodblock print master Miyata Masayuki (1926-1997) made in Showa Era. This is the 8th print of limited edition. The print size is 16 1/2 x 20 1/4 inches, which is much larger than the traditional Shin Hanga woodblock prints. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. The artist’s PENCIL SIGNATURE in Kanji, his chop mark; and PENCIL WRITING OF THE NUMBER OF THE PRINT “EX NO.8” are in the bottom border of the print. You can clearly tell it is his handwritten in pencil by the depth of pencil indentation into the original Japanese mulberry paper. Four borders are intact. This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard. Except for some minor foxing dots as shown in the photos, this woodblock print is in good condition.
