Japanese Woodblock Print by Eiichi Kotozuka "The Sambutsudo Temple in Spring"

Description: Overview: Up for sale is this very beautiful woodblock print, "The Sambutsudo Temple in Spring" which depicts the Sambutsudo Temple in Nikko. This print was produced by Eiichi Kotozuka and was one of four prints in his series, "The Four Seasons of Nikko." Kotozuka was born in Kyoto and was one of the major forces in the shin hanga movement. He, along with Tokuriki, Tobei and Tasaburo formed the Koryokusha publishing company in an effort to break free of the major publishing companies. As I understand it, this was one of Kotozuka's first prints, which he produced at the age of 22. I believe this predates his time working for the Uchida publishing company, as I do not see the "Uchida" watermark which is usually present on his prints. I am unsure if this is a later print or original, but it does appear to be quite old, dating at least to the 1940/1950 time period. . It's a very pretty print that would make an excellent addition once framed to any art collection. Print is unframed, but comes with the original folio matting. Condition: Print is in very good condition. Matting shows moderate discoloration. Measurements: Print measures approximately 11 inches wide x 8.25 inches high. Folio backing measures 13.75 inches wide x 10 inches high. Shipping: I typically ship using the least expensive available service (UPS, Fed Ex or USPS).
