About the Item

Japanese Woodblock Shotei Takahashi (1871-1945) Hiroaki "The Moon and Ishiyama" About the artist Born in Tokyo as Katsutaro Takahashi, Shotei (aka Hiroaki/ Komei) was in his mid-teens when he began to work in the design department of the Imperial Household Agency. He studied Nihonga, or Japanese-style painting, under his uncle Fuko Matsumoto, but also worked as an illustrator for periodicals and textbooks. Beginning in the early Taisho period, Shotei regularly collaborated with the prominent Shin Hanga publisher Shozaburo Watanabe. Shotei used a variety of signatures. Many of his large landscape prints and bijin-ga are signed 'Hiroaki,' while ‘Shotei’ appears on other works. Shotei was a productive shin-hanga artist, completing around five hundred designs by the time he was fifty. Unfortunately, many of Shotei's prints were destroyed by the fire that raged in the aftermath of the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923. Despite this tragedy, he continued to work as a printmaker until his death in 1945.

Kiyoshi Saito Signed Limited Edition Japanese Woodblock Print Daitoku-Ji Kyoto D
By Kiyoshi Saitō
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautifully 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 "Daitoku-ji Kyoto (D)" is from a series of Kyoto temple images that Saito created. The woodblock print features strong, contrasting colors, beautiful wood grain, and a complex design - the cross-shaped walkway pattern which is highlighted by the small precisely placed stones is repeated on the temple wall. The wood grain in the yard, temple walls and sky add another layer of compositional depth. The print is signed in black ink and stamped/sealed in red within the image It is likely titled, dated (1960), and numbered (from a limited edition of 150) in pencil by the artist in the lower margin but hidden below the mat. Saito's "self-carved, self printed Kiyoshi Saito" personal label with his red chop seal...
