Original Kaoru Kawano (1916 - 1965) Japanese Woodblock Print
Small Birds

Early Fall Shin-hanga and Modern Show - We acquired an especially nice group of 20th century prints recently. Shin-hanga, sosaku hanga, and various modern designs are included. This print and the others marked “Shin-hanga and Modern Show” are all a part of this exciting offering. The 20th century category is especially popular with Western collectors. Bid or buy now!

Comments - Richly detailed sosaku hanga print of a girl holding a white bird in one hand as another perches on her shoulder. The use of layers of subtle color and texture against black, and the negative white of the paper creates a strong contrast, producing a striking effect. With red "Kaoru" artist's seal in lower left corner of subject and black round "Kawano" seal on reverse at lower right corner. A handsome modern design that would make a great framed presentation.

Image Size - 14 3/4" x 10" + margins as shown
