Vintage pair of atmospheric Japanese woodblock prints by Koho Shoda featuring the beautifully moody scenes “Lake Biwa” and Canal by Moonlight. These richly colored nighttime compositions capture the quiet reflective quality associated with the shin-hanga tradition, with luminous moonlight, deep blue tones, tranquil water scenes, and delicate silhouetted forms. Both works remain housed in their older vintage frames with original aged backing materials intact. Pencil titles and artist signatures are visible beneath the image areas along with artist seal marks. Prints present very well overall with beautiful display presence. Frames show age-related wear, scuffing, discoloration, and toning. Matting/backing materials show aging consistent with vintage examples. Some waviness/foxing/age toning visible upon close inspection. These pieces have a wonderful decorative and collector appeal and display especially well together. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and condition details.
