View AllKaoru Kawano Signed Large Japanese Woodblock Print Dancing Geisha Figure Eshima
By Kaoru Kawano
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful work by famed Japanese artist Kaoru Kawano who was known for his whimsical portrayals of women, children, and animals. Stylistically, he was one of the first Japanese artists to combine Western-style elements with the traditional methods of woodblock printmaking. This work is known as "Dancing Figure (Eshima)"
The print is signed (in white ink within the image) and sealed (in red) by Kawano.
This work is a quite rare self-printed lifetime double dai Oban large-size print. The quality and colors are striking. It is likely from a limited edition and perhaps numbered on the lower margin (we can not verify as it was previously framed but we are confident that this is the case).
A very beautiful and rich image. Would make for a great addition to any Japanese art and print collection or Stand-out accent work in about any setting.
Frame dimensions: 30.5" high, 20.5" wide, .5" deep
