Description:
Offered for auction is a Japanese woodblock print by Koitsu. Size of the sheet is 7.25 x 15.8 inches. The print has the Doi Teiichi Publisher seal in the left margin along with carver Ikeda and printer Yokoi seals. Yokoi by some accounts was the first Doi printer. It is known that his work on images by Koitsu in the late 1930's were so good that he was promoted to head printer. This print was first printed in 1936. Now the good news this print was framed in an old frame and when I took it apart there was a Japanese newspaper in the back of frame. It was dated Showa 13 which is 1938, so I think this may be a first edition. The print is in very good condition.
