Original Nishijima (born 1945) Japanese Woodblock Print
Children at New Year's

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 - Charming modern scene of a boy walking on stilts down the street. He seems to lean forward precariously, as his friend reaches up in an effort to catch him if he falls. A young girl smiles as she watches. The entrance at right is hung with a shimenawa rope, and a traditional New Year's ornament of pine and bamboo flanks the doorway. A bold design with the heavy black outlines giving the print a jewel-like, stained glass appearance. An early, unsigned work by Katsuyuki Nishijima.
