Old, Original- Pre-WWII Era. Tsuchiya Koitsu Japanese Woodblock Artwork Print. “Evening at Ushigome” old Tokyo Scene Picture. With Doi- “E”- Seal. Woodcut shows a beauty in traditional garb walking along a quiet street lined with discreet wooden storefronts during a rainy evening, passing beneath the inviting orange glow of a shop lantern. This charming prewar scene changed drastically after WWII, when Ushigome became part of Shinjuku ward in Tokyo, which now contains Shinjuku station, the busiest railway station in the world. Shinjuku is now emblematic of modern Tokyo, and it is almost impossible to imagine this scene today when walking in that bustling part of the city. This movement used traditional Japanese themes of: Landscapes, famous places, beautiful women, Kabuki actors, birds/flowers… And blended this with western elements using light/dark contrast and expression of individual moods. Printed on washi (mulberry) paper. Paper size is 16.75″ x 11 1/8″. Woodblock image is 15 1/8″ x 10 1/8″. Has all markings as well as artist seal. Edition: publisher’s watermark seal Doi-“E”- seal in upper left corner of paper. FLAWS: small puncture hole at top margin paper border edge & clear tape residue yellowing marks seen on top edge (from when this was hung on a wall)- yellowing/toning of paper seen along edges.
