Description: Hokusai (1760-1849) A Mother and Baby Woodblock Print by Takamizawa Renowned Publisher 1950s. Crease/Fold at bottom of print.Hokusai Anthology of Famous Pictures by Takamizawa - In the mid-1950s, the renowned Takamizawa Publisher released a reprint series of 49 of Hokusai prints. The series focused on Hokusai’s charming, atypical designs that were less commonly seen. From nature scenes and beauties to outstanding selections from Hokusai's "100 Views of Mt. Fuji" series, these expertly carved and printed designs beautifully capture the details of the Edo era originals. Printed with the attention to detail and exquisite quality of the Takamizawa Publisher, this rare reprint series is a collector’s delight. Comments - A lovely Hokusai depiction of a mother cuddling her baby boy. The child clambers up onto her as she reclines on the floor, wearing a kimono patterned with undulating waves in pink and blue. Soft color and fine detail in this charming print. Woodblock reprints - In the 20th century, artists and publishers collaborated to recreate famous woodblock prints for interested Japanese collectors and Westerners looking for rare designs. New blocks were made, and the prints were painstakingly printed by artisan printers in the same method as the 19th century originals - one block for each color. Woodblock reprints were an opportunity to collect and enjoy a famous design at a small fraction of the price of an original. They still are today. Artist - Hokusai (1760 - 1849) Image Size - 10 1/2" x 7 5/8" + margins as shown Condition - Excellent overall with fold at very bottom below signature. I have collected Woodblock Prints from Japan for many years and decided to downsize and sell some of my collection. I purchased all my woodblocks at reliable auction houses, estate sales of serious collectors, or from Japanese dealers who specialized in Woodblock Prints. I will always state whether the woodblock is an ORIGINAL or a Reprint. Many times, reprints are very good and are a good purchase if the publisher is legitimate and used woodblocks for repainting which this renowned publisher Takamizawa did! This would make a great gift for a "Mother". A Japanese woodblock print mixed with the Maternal Love of a Mother!We will ship promptly upon payment. SHIPPING IS FREE!
