Large oban size. Hashiguchi Goyo is one of the most famous Japanese woodblock-print artists of the 20th century. Goyo only lived to be 41 and his output is very limited (11 "bijin-ga", 4 landscapes, 1 "kacho-e"). Because of his premature death, Goyo left behind a great volume of unfinished work, including a sketchbook with 25 sketches of "Beauties" (1918–1921). The very fine printing process used here is mostly likely lithographic. Each sketch is printed on high-quality museum-art paper. Very detailed, of the same size and identical to Goyo's original graphite sketches, including the "scribbles'. The sketch is in very good condition. An exact copy of the original, in all its details. Will be shipped in a sturdy cardboard packaging ( envelope style or wide ( 100 mm ) tube ) shipping includes packing. If possible the parcel will be shipped to a parcel office near your home.
