Shiro Kasamatsu signed woodblock print cherry blossom numbered #27. His signature in Japanese along left margin and in English lower right in pencil. Back is numbered in pencil; #27. Beautiful print cherry blossom tree along water with the lights of building/home shining though the night. This is an original on a delicate paper. Stamped on lower left. Difficult to tell if English signature was done by Shiro, and was self published, or may have been done by Watanabe(a publisher) after the Great Pacific War. Check catalog of Andreas Grund for more detailed information…. I have not been able to get my hands on it yet, and anyone who has I’d be interested to find out more! He did create 119 self published prints that are limited editions, and because this one is numbered on the back it leads me to believe it may be part of his self published collection. Those prints were made from 50-300 per collection. These were done in the sosaku hanga style, and also done at the end of his career. This specific print is not easy to find, so is a rare beauty!!!! I hope you will enjoy this serene woodblock print done from Tokyo!!!! Print was previously owned and is in excellent condition. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Prints”.
