Maiko by Nishijima (born 1945)

Original Nishijima (born 1945) Japanese Woodblock Print
Maiko

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 - Handsome modern portrait of a maiko or apprentice geisha. She wears a blue kimono, her hair ornately adorned with floral ornaments. She tilts her head, looking over her shoulder with a slight smile, standing against a backdrop of a wooden grid. A great image with a nice asymmetrical balance. An early, unsigned work by Katsuyuki Nishijima.

Artist - Nishijima (born 1945)

Image Size - 4 3/4" x 9" + margins as shown

Condition - This print with excellent color and detail as shown. Paper slightly rippled. Please see photos for details. Very nice overall.
