Hideo Hagiwara Signed Limited Edition Japanese Woodblock Print Masque Mask No 9

About the Item

Wonderful large abstract print by famed Japanese master printer Hideo Hagiwara who was generally considered one of the finest post-World War II Sosaku Hanga artists. In 1989 he was awarded a Gold Medal by the Nobel Prize Committee for five works produced on themes from the novels of Kawabata Yasunari. This print, titled Masque No. 9 is pencil signed, dated (1968), and number (the coveted first in the edition - 1/50) by the artist. A rare and special work. Would be a great addition to any Japanese art collections or collectors of Hagiwara's work. Hagiwara's works can be found in many prominent museums and collections as: Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art Prefectural Museums of Miyagi, Tochigi, Yamanashi, Wakayama, Oita, Toyama, Hiroshima, and Tokushima Kamakura Museum of Modern Art Honolulu Academy of Arts Art Institute of Chicago; Carnegie Museum of Art National Gallery of Art New York Public Library Boston Museum of Fine Arts Cincinnati Art Museum; Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; Rockefeller Foundation, New York Victoria and Albert Museum, London Amsterdam Museum of Art Sao Paulo Museum of Modern Art Dresden Museums of Modern Art National Gallery of Australia. Paper dimensions: 24.75" high, 33" wide Image dimensions: 22.25" high, 29.5" wide.

  • Junichiro Sekino Signed Japanese Limited Edition Woodblock Print Aquarium
    By Junichiro Sekino
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A wonderfully composed and richly colored, limited edition woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Junichiro Sekino. This print, which is titled "Aquarium", is signed and sealed/ stamped in red at the lower right. We believe this was created in 1956 although it could have been made in 1946 (there are some conflicting dates on this image but we assume 1956 is correct) and comes from a limited edition of 50 prints (the exact number of this particular print and date/year is likely listed in pencil below the matt but we have not removed the print from the frame to confirm the exact number/year). The very image is widely considered by many Sekino critics and scholars to be one of Sekino's masterpieces. It is an exquisite and rare/hard-to-find work. Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including: The Museum of Modern Art, N. Y., the Art Institute Chicago, the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, the British Museum, and the Portland Art Museum among many other Fine museums throughout the world. Would be a fantastic addition to any modern Japanese print...

  • Junichiro Sekino Signed Limited Edition Japanese Woodblock Print Rooftop View
    By Junichiro Sekino
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A wonderfully composed and richly colored, limited edition woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Junichiro Sekino. This relatively large print, which is of a rooftop view of a temple shrine in Japan (perhaps Nagasaki as he did a similar print in 1975 but perhaps Kyoto or Tokyo) is hand pencil signed, sealed / stamped in red, numbered (18/128), and dated (1972). The image is likely from Sekino's coveted rooftop series that he did featuring various rooftop patterns from around the world including Japan and Italy. An exquisite and rare / hard-to-find work. Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th-century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including: The Museum of Modern Art, N.
