Description from the seller
Japanese woodblock print - Obagazake ("Aunt's Sake") - Nomura Bunkyō (野村文挙) - Japan - 1940
Dimensions: 37 cm x 26 cm
Condition and state of the print:
The print is in good overall condition. The paper is sturdy and has a naturally warm, lightly tight appearance. Light age-related spotting and foxing are visible, especially in the margins, along with small signs of handling and discoloration. The colors remain bright and attractive, with well-preserved blues, greens, browns and reds. The outlines and fine details are still clear and visible. The margins remain intact.
Artist:
Nomura Bunkyō (野村文挙, 1854–1911) was an important Japanese painter from the Meiji period. He was born in Kyoto and worked mainly in the Shijō school tradition, with much attention to realistic observation and landscapes.
He studied under Shiokawa Bunrin and Mori Kansai and later became a teacher himself. His landscapes combined traditional Japanese painting with a more realistic, modern way of rendering. He won several prizes at major Japanese and international exhibitions.
Shipping:
The painting is carefully and securely packaged to protect it well during transport. The print will be sent by registered mail and provided with a Track & Trace code, so the shipment can be tracked throughout its journey.
Seller's Story
Hi! I’m Sophie from the Netherlands and I sell Japanese prints on Catawiki. I once lived in Japan and honestly, it felt like home from the very first day. When I moved back to the Netherlands, I missed Japan so much that I started looking for ways to keep it close to me.
One day, while wandering through a market, I stumbled upon a stack of old Japanese prints. It was love at first sight and I couldn’t stop looking at them. Ever since then, I’ve been collecting the most beautiful prints, handpicked by me in Japan.
I only bring home pieces that truly touch me, so I can share a little piece of Japan with you. Whether you’re a collector, a fan of Japanese art, or just looking for something special for your wall, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I found them.
