Description from the seller
Ide Gakusui (1899-1982)
'Two Herons in the Snow'
Woodcut print - Japan, 1950
34.5 cm x 24.5 cm
Writing in pencil in the right margin:
雪中白鷺(secchu hakuro): "Herons in the snow" / "Two Herons in the Snow".
昭和廿五年一月作: "Made in January, Showa 25" (1950).
Ide Gakusui's woodblock print designs were published by Watanabe Shozaburo in the late 1940's and 1950's. Born in Yamanashi in 1899, Gakusui studied Japanese-style painting with Yamanouchi Tamon and Araki Kanpo. He moved to China in 1929 and lived there until after World War II. In 1949, he began to collaborate with Watanabe on kachō-e (bird and flower) designs. He is best known for his prints of large cranes and herons. Much of Gakusui's work is realistic, resembling the designs of Ohara Koson and other kacho-e artists.

In good condition. Normal traces of age and use. Comes in frame, behind glass.
