Koho Shoda Signed Japanese Meiji Woodblock Print A Watermill Affixed to a Shed

About the Item

A beautifully and serenely composed image by renowned Japanese artist/printmaker Shoda Koho (1871-1946). This work titled "A Watermill Affixed to a Shed" is from his Nishinomiya Yosaku series. The work features a lone female figure in the dusky light washing the newly dyed cloth in the creek with the dyer's water mill a few paces away. Several clothes can be seen hanging and blowing in the wind on the tall racks near the mill. Shoda Koho (庄田耕峯, ca. 1871-1946) was born in Kanda, Tokyo. He is associated with the Shin-Hanga (“New Prints”) art movement in Japan during the early 20th century that revitalized the traditional ukiyo-e art rooted in the Edo and Meiji periods. This movement was also influenced by European Impressionism and its imagery focused on landscapes, women, and scenes in nature. The work is signed and sealed by the artist with additional info on the frame backing. A rare and seldom-seen image. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art/ print collection or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent artwork in about any setting. Framed dimensions: 14.5" high, 19.25" wide, .5" deep Viewable art: 9.75" high, 14.5" wide
