Description:
Monday, 30 July 2007 You are bidding on an EXTRA LARGE, very beautiful, rare, and PENCIL SIGNED LIMITED NUMBER original Japanese woodblock print “BIJIN with LONG NAIL” signed by the famous Shin-Hanga woodblock print master Takazawa Keiichi (1914-1984) published by the famous Japanese woodblock printmaker WATANABE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. The size of the original woodblock print is 20 x 16 ? inches, which is much larger than the traditional Shin Hanga woodblock prints. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. This woodblock print is not attached any backing paper or cardboard. Strong ink bleeding can be seen through the back of the original Japanese mulberry Washi paper. All four borders are intact. The artist’s chop mark and his signature are at the lower left corner of the print. The original PENCIL SIGNED LIMITED NUMBER 20/200 is in the right bottom border. The title of this woodblock print, the artist’s chop mark, the limited number 20/200, the publisher WATANANE CHOP MARK, the famous carver Maeda Kentaro and printer’s names, and the publisher’s information are in another separated label and will be sold with this masterpiece together. The beauty in this Bijin-ga woodblock print is modeled after Takazawa Keiichi’s wife. The designs of Takazawa’s woodblock prints have an individual style and are something special - and beautiful. Takazawa’s Bijin-ga woodblock prints are rare, hard to find and are highly searched for around the world. As far as I can tell there are no defects, foxing, or stains, this original woodblock print is in EXCELLENT CONDITION.
