Japanese Woodblock by Asano ‘Snow at Hiunkaku” (1950’s) A beautiful, quiet snowscene titled in both Japanese kanji (left margin) as “Hiunkaku Yuki” and in English at bottom as “Snow in Hiunkasu, Nishihonganji Temple, Kyoto” by Takeji Asano (1900-??). Asano, who also excelled as a carver, is known for having produced several series of prints depicting the Kyoto area of Japan. Bears artist’s signature of “Takaji ga” lower right corner of image. Print bears Unsodo’s Publisher’s rectangular seal in right margin along with the carver/printer seals of Okura/Shinmi. Print itself is undated, however Okura (carver) is known to have worked for Unsodo during the 1950’s, and Shinmi (printer) is currently in his 90’s and has long since stopped working. Originally first printed most certainly early to mid-1950’s. Also bears “Gei” watermark (“gei” is the first kanji character of the of the Unsodo Publishers name, "Un-so-do,” which is spelled “gei” if alone) in the upper left corner. Circa likely 1960’s/70’s (definitely older paper)--to learn more, please click the following link to learn more about Old Paper. Image measures 9 3/8 x 14 ? inches.
