Original Meiji era Japanese Woodblock Print
Landscape under a Full Moon

A Special Boston Collection - We are excited to share with you a special collection of Meiji era designs, original shin-hanga prints, and high quality reprints. During a recent trip to Boston, we purchased the remaining stock from a gallery specializing in Japanese woodblock prints. This Boston gallery opened in the mid 1920's and went out of business in 1933 during the Great Depression. The original owner's daughter had kept the prints safely stored for more than 75 years! These terrific works are in wonderful condition, looking almost as if they came straight from the publisher. A real treasure trove of pre-WWII prints, with original designs ranging from classic poem slips, serene landscapes, charming birds and flowers, and popular silhouette scenes, to reprints of masterworks by Hiroshige. A great opportunity to purchase an excellent early 20th century woodblock at a low Fuji Arts price!

Comments - Charming view of a landscape under a softly glowing full moon. A few tiny figures stroll across the bridge in the foreground, and a single boatman poles his craft along the river. Houses are nestled along the shore, framed by tall pines trees, with mountains shadowed in soft gray in the distance. A lovely twilight scene with soft color.

Artist - Meiji era artist (not translated)

Image Size - 7 3/4" x 10 3/8" + margins as shown
