Original 20th century Japanese Woodblock Print
Crescent Moon and Mountain

Comments - Terrific modern woodblock of a crescent moon above a mountain in black silhouette. The moon is encircled by a narrow band of black shapes, set against a beautifully colored blue sky that is shaded to violet above the peak. A striking design with lovely textures. This print was used as a holiday greeting card by the Yoseido Gallery, with printed message inside. The Yoseido Gallery has been in business since 1953, and is currently located in the Ginza in Tokyo. A great image with an interesting provenance.
