This design was originally published in 1984 by the Yoshida Hanga Studio. We are offering a posthumously printed image, made from the original blocks, and acquired directly from the Yoshida family. While it is signed in the block, it still looks like it is pencil signed to an untrained eye. To avoid any misunderstanding, the Yoshida Hanga Studio also included the seal of the printer on the reverse. The image measures 4 3/4 x 7 1/8 inches, plus full margins. The condition is excellent. Up until his father passed away in 1950, Toshi Yoshida primarily produced works that were reminiscent of his father’s landscape prints. His later works include a wide assortment of subjects, styles and techniques. Don’t settle for a giclee or other mechanical reproduction. These woodblock prints are made using the same printing process as the original pencil signed run, under the supervision of the artist’s family and meeting their exacting standards.

This is a woodblock print from Okiie Hashimoto (1899 – 1993). It is originally from a book from 1944 titled Castles of Japan (Nihon No Shiro). That is why there is a ” slit ” in the middle of the Woodblock Print. It is the two pages coming together of the woodblock print. This castle is Chiyoda Castle (Originally called Edo Castle). This is a beautiful woodblock print. The print (inside the matted frame) measures approx. 13.5” x 9.5′. The frame measures approx. 22.5” x 19′.
