Excellent Japanese Woodblock Print Katsuyuki NISHIJIMA (1945) Master Printer
Colorful house/temple woodblock print by listed Japanese master printer Katsuyuki Nishijima. It is unframed, size of image 37.5x26cm (14.75×10.25″), overall 43.5×31.5cm (1.7×12.4″). Signed and sealed lower right, pencil inscription title? In Japanese lower middle, dated/numbered lower left. Very good condition, no sign of it having been framed before. Provenance/certificate of authenticity will be mentioned in the description, if any. Assume there is none. If an item is listed as “signed so & so” it means this is what I see and I have not done any research, usually because of lack of time. There is a difference between originality and authenticity. An item may be original but not authentic and vice versa. Items framed and under glass have not been examined out of the frame unless otherwise stated. Oil/acrylic: I use the general term “oil” unless specifically stated otherwise. I use the general term watercolo. R on all water based paints/dyes/pigments. Most items are pre-owned so expect normal wear and a need to clean the item. Anything major will be noted. Sizes are fairly accurate but consider them as approximate.
