Tsuchiya KOITSU - Japanese Woodblock Print

Takanawa Sengakuji Temple, 1933 / published by Iida Kunitaro, 1933-4

This print is a RARE example of the HIGH QUALITY of this lesser known publisher, Iida Kunitaro. A Tokyo based printer, they were active in the early 1930s and were commissioned by Doi. In this rare instance, Doi did NOT supply their \'watermarked\' paper. Using the original DOI woodblocks, this image was printed between 1933-34 on heavy \'laid-line\' washi. It has STRONG COLOR and IMPRESSION, it is VERY FINE+++++ in condition. The face and the verso are UNMARKED. STRONG bleed through on the verso with the desired \'baren\' marks present. Pics shown are accurate for COLOR and CONDITION. It is as \'FRESH\' in appearance as when originally printed.

NOTED: After I acquired this print, I sent it to one of the finest Japanese woodblock conservators known, who is located in the Netherlands. The age tone was removed and repairs were made to the margin, ONLY. They are not visible. NO REPAIRS TO THE IMAGE. The paper size is: 10 3/8 x 15 3/8 inches or 26.4 x 39.1 cm. Full margins as published. The last picture is a comparison of this image published by Kunitaro and Doi Teiichi. Personally, I feel the Kunitaro is the better print because it has more feeling and drama.

The Famous 47 Ronin are buried at Sengakuji Temple. They have been the subject of many plays and woodblock prints.
