About the Item
A beautifully composed and richly colored woodblock print by famed Japanese shin-hanga artist/printmaker Ito Shunsui (1898-1972) titled "Snow at the Shrine (Shatô no yuki)" from Shinsui's The First Series of Modern Beauties (The work is also sometimes referred to as "The Grounds of a Shinto Shrine in Snow"). The work features an image of a beautiful young woman walking delicately along a snow covered path (She wears tall geta/wooden sandals to keep her feet dry) between a large stone lantern and arching, venerable pine tree, her umbrella protecting her from any falling snow. The detail in her dark garment/kimono and snow laden tree branches is really quite wonderful.
This print was created in Winter, 1930 and is from a limitted edition of 250 (numbered on the verso) of which few prints survive today, thus exceptionally rare and quite scarce. This is Shinsui’s only full-length portrait of a beauty set in an outdoor environment.
The print is signed in black ink and sealed in red by the artist with the publisher's (Watanabe Shozaburo) 6mm circular mark/seal in the bottom right corner.
Literature: “The Women of Shin Hanga”, plate 41, page 182. Reigle Newland, Amy, and Hamanaka Shinji, The female image: 20th century prints of Japanese beauties, 2000, p. 66, pl. 61.
A copy of this work can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA), The Japanese Gallery, Kensington, The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) amongst others.
Shinsui's works can be found in numerous collections and museums worldwide including:
The Virginia Museum of Fine Art,
The Toledo Museum of Art
The Hiroshima Museum of Art
The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Mizuno Toshikata Japanese Woodblock Print First Call of the Warbler, 36 Beauties
Located in Studio City, CA
An absolutely gorgeous and relatively rare original woodblock print by Japanese artist/printmaker Mizuno Toshikata titled "First Call of the Warbler" from his series Thirty-Six Selected Beauties (“Sanju Rokka Sen”) which he created to illustrate the daily activities of various Japanese women from different time periods and walks of life. This work features a geisha practicing the shamisen under the bright light of a full moon as the night's first warbler songbird joins her on a cherry tree branch just outside her window. It is a quite beautiful and serene scene and one of Toshikata most coveted images.
