A rare and highly collectible out of print large-format woodblock print of the National Treasure "Saimon Shingetsu-zu" (New Moon over a Brushwood Gate). The Artist: The original work is attributed to Josetsu, a pioneer of Japanese ink painting (Suibokuga) and a teacher to many great artists including Shubun. National Treasure Status: This work is one of the most famous examples of Shigajiku (poetry and painting scrolls) from the Muromachi period. Out of Print: This item is out of print and will not be reprinted. Exquisite Craftsmanship: Meticulously hand-printed using traditional Kyoto woodblock techniques: Carver: Sadao Uetani (植谷 貞雄) Printer: Kurazo Yoneda (米田 蔵造) Publisher: Tanseisha, Kyoto (京都 丹青社) Documentation: Includes an original Washi paper commentary by Teruo Nakamura, Chief Curator at the Tokyo National Museum, explaining the profound Zen-inspired meaning behind the scene. Visual Appeal: The print beautifully captures the atmospheric moonlight and the delicate bamboo grove, showcasing the masterful "light and shadow" technique of the original. Size: Approximately 53.8 x 43.7 cm. Condition: Please note that this is a vintage item. The paper shows natural toning (yellowing) and some foxing (brown spots) throughout, which are common for Japanese paper of this age. However, these do not detract from the beauty of the artwork but rather add to its antique character. Please check the images. Artistic Value: Josetsu’s works are extremely rare. This high-quality woodblock print reproduction enables collectors worldwide to own a piece of Japan’s national treasure history. Given its large format and the rarity of being out of print, it is likely to be an important investment for Asian art collections. Atention: The items listed for sale are all used collectibles.
