Original Meiji-era artist (unsigned) Japanese Woodblock Print
Fish and Reeds

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 - Attractive nature scene of a single fish set against some reeds. A simple monochromatic color scheme in soft shades of gray accented with black.

Artist - Meiji-era artist (unsigned)

Image Size - 7 1/8" x 10"

Condition - This print with excellent color and detail as shown. Stain at top edge. Please see photos for details. Nice overall.
