Hue of the Water, Light on the Peaks

Japanese National Treasures by Tanseisha - We are pleased to present a terrific group of woodblock prints by the Kyoto publisher Tanseisha, featuring classic works that are considered Japanese National Treasures. These beautiful images are based on original ink and wash paintings by masters from the 15th through the 17th century such as Sesshu, Josetsu, and Shokei Kenko. Styles range from tranquil designs with soft and flowing brush work to landscapes with bold calligraphic strokes, some heightened with delicate washes of color. The original paintings are in museum collections in Japan, designated as National Treasures for their important artistic and cultural value. These large format woodblock prints offer a wonderful opportunity to purchase a masterpiece of classical Japanese imagery, and are a great choice for display.
