Title: Snowy Day at the Five-Storied Pagoda in Ueno 雪の日 上野五重塔 Artist: Shintaro OKAZAKI 岡崎紳太郎 (1886 - 1957) Signed: Red artist's seal within image at lower right Technique: Japanse Woodblock print Paper: Echizen Japanese mulberry paper First print around 1950. This is a later edition from original publisher Unsodo, Japan. Shintaro Okazaki is a Shin-hanga artist from the mid-Showa period, a lesser known treasure of the Shin Hanga movement. Even though his prints reach the level of other Shin Hanga artists, less is known about his life. The composition is extremely dynamic, realistically expressing the wildness of nature, and the use of color is also unique. With ‘Snowy Day at the Five-Storied Pagoda,’ Okazaki created an absolutely stunning Shin-hanga design. He only made a few designs. We are left with a unique scene to enjoy, with the wild snow depicted in a way unlike any other Shin-hanga artist has ever done. An attractive shin-hanga design by a rarely seen artist. The woodblock print is in excellent condition Paper size: 415 x 280 mm Image size: 365 x 240 mm Shipment with tracking we do combine shipments for woodblock prints, please have a look at our weekly selection of Japanese fine arts!
