Abalone Divers on Shore

From the Uchida Publisher Archives - We were fortunate to purchase a wonderful collection of 20th century prints directly from the archives of the Uchida Art Company of Kyoto. The classic 20th century prints offered in our auction from this collection are all first edition prints of various designs released by the Uchida company in the mid-20th century. These first edition prints are unusual to come by in a nice group as they were generally sold off as they were produced. This excellent collection was held back and recently sold from the Uchida archives. These prints are a nice opportunity to collect a lovely 20th century print, or perfect as reasonably priced gifts. Don't miss out on these prints, once they sell out, we won't have them again!

Comments - Charming scene of abalone divers gathered along the shore, chatting and resting. Other women are diving in the water or dropping abalone into large floating wooden tubs bobbing on the surface. The divers are modestly dressed in white costumes with white scarves around their heads. A terrific image from modern life, with a lovely view out over the softly shaded water under a pale green sky. An interesting and unusual genre for Nisaburo Ito.
