Yuyudo Publisher - In the early 20th century, the Yuyudo publishing house had already distinguished themselves as one of the finest publishers in Japan. They adhered to the same exacting standards of 19th century publishers while some of their publishing colleagues took shortcuts. In the 1950's, as interest Edo era woodblock prints was reigniting, Yuyudo embarked upon a project to produce reprints by the great masters from the Golden Age of Ukiyo-e. They hired the finest woodblock printers and carvers in the world for this endeavor. The resulting prints were some of the highest quality reproductions ever made. We are pleased to offer this beautiful reprint from the Yuyudo publisher in our auctions today.  Yuyudo prints are exceptionally well done and very finely printed. Each bears a Yuyudo Publisher stamp on the margin or reverse. Bid now on prints from this fantastic collection!

Eitai Bridge and Fishing Boats off Tsukuda Island - Lovely, peaceful view of boats anchored for the night off Tsukuda Island. Pedestrians cross the wooden Eitai Bridge in the foreground, and the fires of small fishing boats can be seen along the horizon at left. Golden clouds drift across the scene and a full moon glows softly overhead. Beautiful shading in the sky and deep blue water. A great design, rarely seen in reprint.
