Description

This stunning Japanese woodblock print by Tsuchiya Koitsu showcases the Hakozaki Hachimangu Shrine in Kyushu, created in 1938. With dimensions of 11 3/4 x 16 3/4 inches, the print is in excellent condition, featuring vibrant, well-preserved colors and a clean paper surface. The top edge is deckled, indicative of its original state, while the reverse displays expected ink bleed-through typical of authentic Japanese woodblock prints. The seals reveal it was published by Doi Teiichi and produced by the carver Idō and printer Watanabe. Tsuchiya Koitsu (1870-1949) was a key figure of the shin-hanga ('new prints') movement, recognized for his evocative landscapes. His early training under ukiyo-e master Kobayashi Kiyochika influenced his dramatic renderings of light and shadow in serene, atmospheric settings. A true collectible for art enthusiasts, this piece captures the essence of traditional Japanese aesthetics.
