Description:
Nara Horyuji Temple by Tsuchiya Koitsu. Koitsu Raisonne print code: TK-DH-50. Genuine Japanese woodblock print dated June Showa 13 (1938). Later impression from original blocks. Fine condition. Print has never been framed and retains original colors. 17.0 x 11.4 inches. 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 "Views Of 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.
