About the Item

A fine antique Taisho period Japanese woodblock print. Depicting a swooping heron above a riverbed with a thin sliver of a crescent moon in the background. By Seikо̄. Seikо̄ is thought to have created tanzaku sized (ca. 5x17 in) woodblock prints for export sale around the time of the Taisho period (1912-1926). There are tentative titles for some of their works, but any further details of the artist’s life are unclear. Simply a lovely Japanese print! Date: Early 20th Century Overall Condition: It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition. Condition Details: Woodblock not observed outside the frame. There is a crack and small losses to the top left hand corner of the frame, minor losses to the gilding on the top right corner, and a repaired rip to the back cover. Otherwise, there are some fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age. Signed: Signed by the artist to the bottom right. Measurements: Height: ca. 17 5/8 in. Width: ca. 5 1/4 in. Depth: ca. 3/4 in. Sight Height: ca. 14 3/8 in. Sight Width: ca. 2 1/2 in. Items purchased from this dealer must delight you.
