Description :
This is an genuine original Japanese woodblock print by great shin-hanga artist Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) titled "Iris Flowers ". The print is dated Showa 4 (1929) on the bottom margin. This is extremely rare edition published by publishers Kawaguchi & Sakai, and bears the K&S “chrysanthemum and river” publisher seal on the bottom margin. The sixteen prints that he designed for Kawaguchi and Sakai are considered among his finest work. Each design was originally published in a limited edition of 100 prints. Some prints by Hasui offered now on ebay are later editions of much less quality (sometimes from recarved blocks) but this one is real early prewar edition. No foxing, toning, folds or creases. The print is not trimmed or setdown. Fine impression, color and registration. Signed by artist Hasui, has seal “Sui” in the image and titled in kanji at the bottom margin. Image size 9.5" x 14.25", paper size is 10.5" x 16".
