The colors are very close to those in the actual print, which has fresh, bright colors, sharp borders, and the background is a warm cocoa brown, with no suggestion of gray. The rest of the photographs have not been adjusted and look duller than the real print, and also may have minor reflections that slightly distort part of the image. No visible tears, creases, holes or marks. An extremely good print. Not examined out of frame. Attractive beveled wood frame, paper mat, in excellent condition. Very minor waving to mat at top.

Kiyoshi Saito Woodblock Print Aizu in Winter, Newly Framed. Woodblock is from the Aizu in Winter series. The design of this woodblock was made in 1953 and printed in 1955. But this particular woodblock print which varies from the 1955 woodblock is a little different. The 1955 version had a dark circle around the large tree and less refined detail to the scene. This one has nothing around the base of the tree and a grey path to the left of the tree. There is more refined detail. I would place it more to the 1960s or 1970s. It has the Kiyoshi seal and is signed in pencil below the seal. It is not dated. It was self carved and self published. It is a oban yoko-e with the image being approximately 10 by 15.5. I removed the print and had it re-framed with museum glass and acrid free matt and backing. Since I was at the framer, I took pictures in the shop so you can see the front and back outside the frame. The lighting at the framer distorted the color on the reverse of the print. It looks like it is toned significantly to the side, but that is not the case. It is a very nice example and is framed in a nice wood frame. I was very pleased to see it had held up. Framed dimensions are 21″ wide by 15.5″ tall.

Beautiful, original woodblock print by Kiyoshi Saito. Handsigned, this has excellent impression, and quality. One small crease in the margin of the right bottom side, doesn’t affect the impression. Please see our photos for complete details. Overall excellent condition and ready to frame. Impression measures 9.75″ x 14.25″, and 11.5″ wide by 17.5″ tall including margins. Kiyoshi Saito was a celebrated Japanese printmaker. Characterized by his distinctively graphic flatness, Saito’s works often feature recurring visual motifs endemic to Japanese landscapes, such as rural architecture, kimono-wearing women, and pinewood forests. His oeuvre is connected to the Japanese practice of sosaku-hanga, meaning “creative prints, ” a 20th-century movement motivated by self-expression accomplished through hand-made processes. He achieved recognition for his Winter in Aizu series when issued in 1938, and subsequently was among the first Japanese artists to place at the São Paulo Biennale in 1951. Born in Aizubange, Japan on November 14, 1997, Saito died on November 14, 1997 in Tokyo, Japan at the age of 90. The item you see pictured here is the. Item you will receive. Thank you so much!
