Sadao Watanabe Original Stencil Print, 1979 - Harvesting the Grape in Canaan

About the Item

Stencil Print by Sadao Watanabe, hand colored on hand-made washi paper. The image is from the story of Moses: Numbers 13:23, 'and they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between the two of them.' Artist’s chop mark and pencil signature are seen lower right. Dated (1979) lower left. The work is un-matted and unframed. The image measures 7 3/4"h x 7"w inches. The print is one of many Biblical images created by Watanabe in the mingei (or folk art) tradition. It is in excellent condition. Paper size: 13"h x 9"w. Sadao Watanabe was born and raised in Tokyo and was a Japanese printmaker in the 20th Century. He was famous for his Biblical prints rendered in the mingei (folk art) tradition of Japan. As a student of the master textile dye artist Serizawa Keisuke (1895-1984), Watanabe was associated with the mingei (folk art) movement. In 1958, Watanabe received first prize at the Modern Japanese Print Exhibition held in New York City for The Bronze Serpent showing Moses and the people of Israel. Watanabe's Kiku [Listening] (1960) was featured in the novelist James Michener's The Modern Japanese Print (1962), a book that introduced ten sosaku hanga artists to the Western audience. The Vatican Museum, the British Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo and many other leading museums in the world have exhibited Watanabe's works. During President Lyndon Johnson's administration, Watanabe's prints were hung in the White House.
