price: SOLD
Japanese shin hanga woodblock print titled "Morning Rain at Lake Hakone" by Tsuchiya Koitsu (1870-1949) dated in the right margin "11th month of Showa 13" (1938). The black ink signature and red seal of the artist are at the lower right corner of the image. The title and date are printed in the lower right margin. The seals of the publisher Doi Hangaten, printer Yokoi, and carver Harada are in the left margin. Prints with the Doi Hangaten and Harada/Yokoi offset markings were produced sometime between 1950 and 1963. This impression is from a presentation edition believed to have been printed circa 1950. The Doi publisher’s watermark is at the upper left margin corner. Paper measures 16 3/8" x 11 1/8" (image: 15 3/8" x 10 1/8"). Very good color and overall condition. Two small pieces of paper from the previous presentation folder are attached to the back at the upper margins. A full page color illustration can be found on page 100 (plate 3.54) of "The Catalogue Raisonne of Tsuchiya Koitsu," by Dr. Ross F. Walker, Ohmi Publishing.
