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!

Summer: Sanjo Bridge - Attractive scene of Sanjo Bridge in Kyoto in Summer, the view framed by a willow tree and softly glowing lamps. The delicate leaves make a graceful contrast with the bold tree trunk and the strong lines of the bridge. The distant mountains are seen in soft blue-gray silhouette against the evening sky. A handsome design, nicely shaded.
