Pair of Framed Yoshimune Arai Original Woodblock Prints – Evening & Moonlight Scenes. Each print, measuring 18 x 13 inches including the frame, captures the tranquil beauty of Japan’s coastal landscapes, featuring soft hues and exquisite detail characteristic of the Shin Hanga movement. “Evening Glow on the Bay” (circa 1920s). This mesmerizing piece depicts traditional Japanese sailboats gliding across calm waters, bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun. The subtle gradation of colors and delicate reflections on the water create a serene, dreamlike atmosphere. “Suma Beach by Moonlight” (circa 1930s). A breathtaking night scene showcasing the quiet beauty of Suma Beach under the glow of a full moon. Gentle waves roll onto the shore, where figures can be seen carrying buckets of seawater, adding a human element to the peaceful coastal setting. Both prints are housed in their original vintage/antique frames, which add to their authenticity and charm. The frames show some signs of age, with wear visible along the edges, consistent with their vintage nature. The prints themselves maintain excellent detail and color, though some natural toning is present due to age. A rare opportunity to own a matched set of Yoshimune Arai’s masterful work, perfect for collectors and admirers of Japanese woodblock prints. Ready to display and bring timeless elegance to any space.
