Nishijima, Katsuyuki (1945 – Present). “Unexpected Light Rain” (‘Haku’ or’Hakuu’ in Japanese). The subject is Heihachi Tea House Inn, a famous 450-year-old teahouse / restaurant with hotel and sauna on the Takano River in Kyoto. Original Woodblock Print obtained from Uchida’s Hanga Art Gallery in Kyoto, Japan in the late 80′s. The information slip featuring some history on Nishijima-san. Is included, which was. STILL IN NEW CONDITION with strong and bright, bold colors, since it was never displayed or framed. It has been sitting forgotten in a flat file for decades. There is a small ripple to the lower margin from the printing process (the wood blocks are not only damp but so is the paper, which can leave slight ripples once it dries). Rediscovered just last year, it was painfully obvious I no longer have any room to frame and display more art. My loss is your gain. Printed on excellent quality paper with the woodblock printing bleed-through visible underneath. Print is housed in a paper folder that doubles as a mat, protecting the artist’s signature plus print title, also signed in pencil by the artist. The paper folder is meant to be temporary. If you choose to frame this wonderful piece, it should be matted so that the signature can be seen. The entire print with mat / folder measures 10 1/2″ x 14″. The print itself measures 10″ x 13″ with the actual image measuring 7 3/4″ x 10 1/2″, not including the border. Of course, you would mat larger than that to show the title and artist’s signature. This print is no longer available from the artist and is one not seen offered very often, making this one VERY scarce on the secondary market. Interesting to note: the rain depicted is thinner and more subtle on this original 80′s print than it is on more recent issues maybe this was done at the artist’s discretion, or perhaps something happened to the original block and it needed to be replaced? Whichever was the case, this detail avows that this is truly a wonderful’vintage’ offering! Please see the pics above to appreciate this wonderful piece of traditional Japanese wood block art. Comes from a climate-controlled, pet, and smoke-free home. Please read on for pertinent info below.. The item you see above. The exact one you will receive as no stock photos are used. Please check out my other listings to discover. If you have any questions not answered above, feel free to write me. And most importantly, thank you for your business!
