Kobe Port Tower - Kawanishi Hide - Japan

Original Woodblock Print by Hide Kawanishi (1894-1965) - Framed and Ready to Display

This is an exquisite original woodblock print by Hide Kawanishi (1894-1965), a master and central figure of the creative print movement.

From 1933 to 1936, he produced a series of works depicting Kobe, Japan, known as "One Hundred Views of Kobe."

In traditional ukiyo-e prints, the artist only creates the preliminary sketch, but in creative prints, the artist handles all stages of production, from sketching and carving to printing. This print perfectly embodies Kawanishi's unique and expressive style and his deep love for landscape painting.
