Goyo Studio Reprints - Hashiguchi Goyo is the undisputed master of the 20th century shin-hanga movement. A secondary part of his career was reprinting beautiful old ukiyo-e designs from the golden age of the Japanese woodblock print. Between 1918 and 1920, much of Goyo’s artistic work was devoted to creating these incredible woodblock reprints of classic ukiyo-e prints. Each image was painstakingly copied from an original and stamped with the Goyo circular seal. Line by line, color by color, the prints were recreated in Goyo’s studio to perfectly emulate these masterworks of ukiyo-e. Goyo took pride in this work and the release of his reprints was met with great acclaim.

Today, original Goyo reprints are highly sought after by collectors and rare to find. This is an exceptional opportunity!

Comments - Charming pillar print design of a beauty enjoying a stroll, holding a fan as she looks up over her shoulder. Above, the Thunder God Raijin kneels on a cloud, an open book before him and his drums stacked in a tower nearby, next to a bundle of lightning bolts. The beauty wears a finely striped kimono over a red under robe, and carries an umbrella. Nicely detailed.
