Description :
I recently purchase a large collection of original Japanese Woodblock prints dating from the 1700's to the mid 1900's. All are original and all are from the same collection of Japanese fine arts. The collector lived in Japan before WWII and returned in 1946. He was a professor and major collector. Please see my other auctions for great Japanese antiques, original woodblock prints and other Asian items. Again, all these items are from one collection and fresh to the market. Up for auction is an original antique Ohara Koson(Shoson) Japanese woodblock print dating from the early part of the 1900's. Features Moorhen birds next to an Iris flower and was published by Watanabe. This is an early original and signed as seen below. Great detail and design by this famous artist. Condition is excellent for its age. Has no holes, no tears, no water damage, no creases or folds. The color is great with no fading or discoloring. Has a little wear around the edges and is nothing major. Also no cuts and the woodblock print has not been trimmed. Measures approx. 15 1/8 by 6 7/8 inches. Very rare original woodblock print and would look great framed. Found safely stored away for years at a recent 95 year estate of along time collector and from a smoke free home.
