Medium: boxed set of mini woodblock prints presented as cards with envelopes. The numbered images include. 1 Haniwa, ancient pots. 3 Winter in Aizu. 4 Temple of Moss, Kyoto. 6 At an Indian Village, New Mexico. 7 Aizu in Winter. Pictured are 12 early small-format woodblock (embossing apparent) prints by the famous Japanese woodblock print artist Kiyoshi Sait. Each woodblock print was made in the form of a gift card and includes a matching envelope. Each is printed on good quality Japanese washi paper, and includes a title and scene number. They are not posthumous restrikes, but lifetime editions. Kiyoshi Sait 1907 – 1997 was a ssaku hanga artist in 20th-century Japan. In 1938, he issued his first prints in his now famous “Winter in Aizu” series. Saito was one of the first Japanese printmaking artists to have won at the São Paulo Biennale in 1951. Sait’s early works depict villages populated with local Japanese with a high degree of realism and three-dimensionality. His more mature works merge modern elements with Japanese tradition. His prints feature architecture and plant life flattened in two-dimensionality. These are unowned sets, which come from the residual inventory from a bookstore/gallery which operated in Manhattan 1940s-1970s. As such, all cards are in mint condition. In rare instances, a card may have minor creasing, none of which affects the imagery. Provenance: From the residual estate inventory of The Golden Griffin Gallery/Arts Inc. Operated in New York City, New York from the 1950s to the 1970s. In the mid 1940s, Arts, Inc. Was established as a publishing house specializing in European scholarly and artistic works. In the 1950s, Arts, Inc. The parent company, expanded to create, first, the Golden Griffin Bookstore and then the Griffin Gallery, which dealt primarily with contemporary American and European artists.
