Description from the seller
Yoshida Hiroshi Woodblock Print - Sarusawa Pond - Showa 8 (1933) - Jizuri (Self-Printed), Signed
A fine original woodblock print by Yoshida Hiroshi (吉田博) titled "Sarusawa Pond" (猿澤池), depicting Nara's Kofuku-ji five-story pagoda rising above the treeline, framed by cascading willow branches over the still waters of Sarusawa Pond. Figures stroll along the water's edge near a small lantern and a lakeside pavilion strung with lanterns, glimpsed through cherry blossoms. Rendered in a soft, muted palette of blue-grey and dusky pink, evoking a tranquil dusk atmosphere characteristic of Yoshida's shin-hanga landscapes. The print bears the artist's pencil signature and title inscription in the lower margin, along with the carved seal, and is marked jizuri (自摺, self-printed by the artist). Dated Showa 8 (1933).
Seller's Story
Based in Kyoto — the historic heart of Japanese culture — I specialize in sourcing rare Japanese antiques from traditional markets, private collections, and estate sales across Japan.
Every piece is carefully selected for authenticity, condition, and story. I source primarily from Kyoto’s famous Toji Temple market and Kitano Tenmangu antique fairs — markets with centuries of tradition behind them.
My collection focuses on netsuke, inro, tobacco sets, lacquerware, and Japanese decorative arts from the Edo and Meiji periods — objects that were once part of daily life for samurai, merchants, and artisans.
