This is an original woodblock, print in the Mitsugiri style, from the Shin Hanga Movement by the Japanese artist Takahashi Shotei (1872 – 1945). Shin hanga movement was to revitalize the Ukiyo-e. It is titled Cherry Blossoms at Sumida Bank in Rain. This print is pre war and most likely dates to the 1920s. It was framed in Cambridge, MA by J. Olsson and art dealer active in the 1920’s and 30’s. It features two women enjoying the view of the cherry blossoms by the river while waiting out a rain shower under the thatched roof of a tea stall. On the water are several boats plying the smooth blue surface. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom as the rain comes down in diagonal streaks. The perspective is interesting, as it appears we are viewing from the side two people who are also enjoying the view. The frame measures 15 3/8 L x 7 W x 1/2 D inchs the frame border is 3/8 of an inch all the way around the print. Has a few small dings on the frame.

The Vintage Ohno Bakufu Japanese Woodblock Print, Planting Rice in Rain, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of his Japanese art. Created by the renowned artist Ohno Bakufu, signed in bottom right corner, this multi-color print reflects the regional origins of Japan and captures the essence of traditional Japanese culture. Matted and framed, this piece adds a touch of elegance and history to any space, making it a valuable antique for collectors of Asian art. Please see all photos for complete description. Frame is 21.75″ long, 15.75″ tall. He is best known for his work in the sosaku-hanga, or “creative prints, ” movement in the early 20th century even though he published in the shin-hanga method as well. Bakufu studied under Ishii Hakutei, a leading figure in the movement, and later worked closely with Munakata Shiko. Bakufu’s prints often featured scenes from everyday life, including landscapes, portraits, and still lifes. He was known for his use of bold, simplified forms and vivid colors, which he achieved through a combination of traditional woodblock printing techniques and his own innovations. Bakufu was particularly interested in the expressive potential of woodblock printing, and his work often incorporated elements of abstraction and distortion.
