Wednesday, 5 January 2011 Japanese Woodblock Print Night Scene Artist Unidentified. 7 Day Money Back Guarantee [shipping not included] Description: This is a Japanese woodblock print. If you have any information on the piece... feel free to share :) I posted this piece on the forums for identification and one nice person was able to translate the name of the piece maybe, but not the artist. They came up with the literal translation for the title as "The distant view of the big Torii from Itsukushima shrine's pathway". (Thank you Creatas for the translation) Has a H. TAKEMURA sticker on the back... which was the publishing house which closed down in 1939. Which dates the piece prior to then. Dimensions: Whole Sheet Measures Approx. 15.25" x 10.5", actual print portion measures 9.75" x 7.25" Condition: Areas of foxing is apparent.
