Original post-quake 1920s TAKAHASHI HIROAKI SHOTEI Japanese Woodblock “COLD WINTER WIND” Art Piece. The artwork measures 15″x6.5″. The frame measures 19.5×11. The piece appears to be faded from UV light. The background is still black but other colors are not bright but rather muted/pale. It’s in a vintage frame with original glass (some scuffs on the outer edges of the frame). The cardboard to which the art was attached, however, was replaced because it has disintegrated. The image has been placed on a vintage sketching/drafting paper using a very light coat of mucilage just at the top to keep it in place the way it was found. The original cardboard is enclosed behind the white layer. The frame has an old sticker from the frame shop in Middletown NY (underneath the outer white layer). It’s a wonderful piece of Japanese culture that will look fantastic on display. Please message if you need more pictures or have questions. The package will be insured.

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. Pictures are provided as part of the description, it is AS PICTURED. More pictures provided upon request.

Shotei (born Hiroaki Takahashi) was one of the most influential 20th century woodblock artists, ushering in the shin hanga movement that completely revolutionized the field. This print is titled, “Street Musicians” I’ve also seen it titled, “Shamisen Player and Singer” or Street Singers. It is phenomenal and shows off a theme that Shotei excelled at – the shadowy silhouettes of figures in the evening. It is very nicely framed in an older wood frame under glass. Condition: The print and matting appear to be in excellent condition. Frame shows quite a bit of paint loss. Measurements: Print measures 7.125 inches high x 4.375 inches wide. Frame measures approximately 11.625 inches high x 8.625 inches wide. If the item is not paid for within this time frame, an unpaid item case will be opened. More pictures available on request. Please note that this item is not accompanied by a certificate of authenticity or any other source verifying its authenticity.
