AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original woodblock print - Paper - Takahashi Shotei (1871-1945) - Revolving Lantern and Bell - Japan - Showa period (1926 - 1989)
The first edition of this design was published between 1923 and 1936. The current print is from an early edition.
The measurements of the image itself (excluding the margins) are 5.0 x 17.6 cm.
Publisher: Watanabe
Takahashi Hiroaki (Shotei) was born on January 2, 1871, in Tokyo with the given name of Takahashi Katsutaro. He was trained in Nihonga - traditional Japanese painting - by his uncle Matsumoto Fuko. In the literature the artist is usually called Takahashi Shotei or just Shotei.
From 1907 on Takahashi Hiroaki designed large numbers of prints for Watanabe's print shop. He was one of the first printmakers joining the artisan "pool" of Watanabe. The prints were largely exported - mainly to Northern America and are still in high demand to this day.
The print is in very good condition. There is a small wrinkle in the upper right corner, and one in the lower left, but both hard to see.
Will be shipped with great care in sturdy packaging to prevent folding.
