Description:
Koitsu- Owl- 1.jpg is: "Owl" - 1932 Mitsugiri Image size 15.5" x 7.75" Condition Pristine. Never laid down. Strong bleedthrough to verso. No folds, no tears, no creases, no foxing. Please note: right margin has NOT been trimmed. Rather, the narrow margin is a result of the placement of the washi paper on the blocks during printing. Authenticated by Master Koitsui's signature, Doi Eiichi seal, watermark and the all-important double-offset Harada/Seki seal. Most prints seen in recent times carry the Hamano printer's seal, signifying a more recent print. This print carries the earlier Seki seal. Seki worked for Doi for 4 decades prior to 1993. We would estimate this print was struck circa 1980 or earlier, making it more rare than some current later-editions.
