Description from the seller
"Miss Kobe," a woodblock print by Hide Kawanishi, was created in 1931 (Showa 6).
This is a representative early creative print by Hide Kawanishi, vividly capturing the modern atmosphere of Kobe in the early 1930s.
Composition and Motif: Against the backdrop of a woman's profile exuding exotic charm, ships sailing in Kobe harbor, a red and white lighthouse, and an exotic-style lantern (paper lantern) inscribed with "KOBE" are arranged in a unique multi-color print.
Variations: Several versions of this motif exist, such as "Miss Kobe A" and "Miss Kobe B" (with subtle differences in composition and color), but all were created in 1931.
