Kiyoshi Saito Signed Limited Edition Japanese Woodblock Print Syoren-In Kyoto

About the Item

A beautifully designed and composed woodblock print by famed Japanese printmaker Kiyoshi Saito. Many consider Saito to be one of the most important, if not the most important, contemporary Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. This print, which is titled "Syoren-In Kyoto" features a lone mountainside temple/shrine with strong colors, bold wood grain, and an intricate balanced, complex design (note the beautiful green trees perfectly placed high in the upper corner). The print is signed in black ink and stamped/sealed in red within the image, titled, dated (1965), and numbered (20/100) in pencil by the artist in the lower margin. A rare and hard-to-find work. Would be a great addition to any modern Japanese or Asian print collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent artwork in about any setting. Professionally framed and matted with a silk mat.
