Yoshitoshi Mori Signed Limited Edition Japanese Woodblock Stencil Print Sorrow

About the Item

A large, beautifully designed and colored, dramatically composed print by Japanese master printmaker Yoshitoshi Mori who was famed for his kappazuri stencil printing technique. In the 1950s Mori became one of the key artist in the Sosaku Hanga movement (which stressed the artist as the sole creator of any given work as opposed to a collaborative effort). This print of two women and a young child is titled "Sorrow". The work was created on crumpled, hand-made paper. It is signed, sealed/stamped, dated (1958) and numbered (9/50) by Mori. As we have seen only one other copy of this image (a, smaller colorless version), we are assuming it is quite rare. Paper dimensions: 28.75" high, 23" wide Image approximately: 26" high x 19" wide A special and hard to find work. 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 once framed. Considered to be one of Japan's finest and most innovative 20th century print makers, Mori has exhibited throughout the world and his works can be found in permanent collections in such museums and galleries as: Art Gallery of Greater Victoria Art Institute of Chicago Baltimore Museum of Art Barcelona Art Museum Berlin National Museum British Museum Brooklyn Museum Cincinnati Art Museum Cleveland Museum of Art De Young Museum, San Francisco Harvard University Art Museums Honolulu Academy of Art Japan Folk Crafts Museum, Tokyo Library of Congress Los Angeles County Museum of Art Metropolitan Museum of Art Minnesota Museum of Art, St. Paul Muscarelle Museum of Art, Williamsburg Museum of Fine Arts Boston Museum of Modern Art, New York National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo Philadelphia Museum of Art Portland Art Museum Yale University Art Gallery. Please note this print will be shipped safely rolled in a transport tube.

A quite large and engaging fine print by famed Japanese printmaker Yoshitoshi Mori. The print portrays an ancient Samurai, one of Mori's favorite subjects, with an arrowhead in hand. It is stamped, signed, dated (1985) and numbered (12/50) by the artist. The original 1985 price of 300,000 yen can be seen written along the bottom edge of print. I have only seen this print offered once before making it relatively rare. A must have for collectors or admirers of Yoshitoshi Mori's work or lovers of Japanese prints in general. Would stand out in any setting and/or collection. The print has been professionally framed.
