This exquisite Japanese woodblock print by Mokuchu (Yoshijiro) Urushibara features a stylized horse, showcasing the artist's skill in the shin-hanga and sōsaku-hanga movements. Dimensions of the print are 14 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches, making it a substantial piece for any art collection. Urushibara, born in 1888 in Tokyo, became a significant figure in the revival of color woodblock printing after moving to London in 1910. He was known for his technical mastery, subtle color applications, and elegant renderings of animals, primarily horses. This print includes his signature in pencil and a red artist's seal, reinforcing its authenticity. Urushibara's use of mica to create a shimmering background adds a distinctive touch to this piece. Please note that the print exhibits scattered foxing throughout the paper and signs of previous mounting, including tape residue on the reverse side. Despite these minor imperfections, this artwork remains a beautifully preserved example of Japanese printmaking.
