Original Kin-u Takeshita (active circa 1930s - 1950s) Japanese Woodblock Print
Cherry Blossoms

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 - Lovely modern print of two cherry branches covered in soft pink and creamy white blossoms and buds. The limbs are drawn with fluid calligraphic line work, a nice contrast to the more detailed flowers. An attractive spring subject.

Artist - Kin-u Takeshita (active circa 1930s - 1950s)

Image Size - 16" x 9 1/2" + margins as shown

Condition - With excellent color and detail. Some light spotting in subject. Some light toning at edges. Please see photos for details. Good overall.
