First edition
Japanese woodblock print by Kawase
Hasui (1883-1957), titled Tea Ceremony
Room in Night Rain at Lakeside, 1935.
This design is illustrated at plate 426 of
Kawase Hasui Mokuhangashu (Kawase Hasui Catalogue of Woodblock Prints), Narazaki,
Muneshige, ed., (Tokyo: Kodansha & Mainichi Shinbun, 1979). It is part of a series of prints
that were privately commissioned by the then current owner of The Mitsubishi Company, and
published by Watanable Color Print Co. While this design bears a circular Watanabe seal in the
lower right corner of the image, savvy Hasui collectors know that the 1935 Mitsubishi series in
an exception to the general rule of determining the state of post-earthquake/pre-war designs by
the presence of a publisher's cartouche in the margin. This print is has wonderfully fresh colors and is in very good condition, with no condition issues to note, aside from some faint residue in top reverse margin from the original presentation folder. The image measures approximately 13 by 8 ¾ inches, plus margins. |
