Description:
Nara Horyuji Temple by Tsuchiya Koitsu. Koitsu Raisonne print code: TK-DH-50. Genuine Japanese woodblock print dated June Showa 13 (1938). Strong texture and ink bleedthrough on fine washi. Harada Carver's seal and Seki printer's seal in left margin. This print is from a limited edition series entitled "Sketches of Famous Places In Japan" of famous shin-hanga landscape masterworks from the artists Hasui and Koitsu, printed by the publisher Hamamatsu-Do (Doi), and also distributed by O-Edo Mokuhansha. In the early 1960's Hamamatsu-Do re-released this fine limited edition set of shin-hanga landscape prints. 28 scenes were chosen and the publisher printed 200 complete sets of 28 prints each. It is possible that later editions carrying the Hamamatsu-Do publisher seal also exist.
