First edition Japanese shin hanga woodblock print by Shiro Kasamatsu (1898-1991) titled "Tea Ceremony" (Chanoyu) dated " Showa 29" (1954). The seal of the publisher Unsodo, and the seals of the carver Nagashima, and printer Shinmi are in the left margin. The artist's black ink signature and red seal are at the upper right corner of the image. The Unsodo (“Un”) watermark is faintly visible at the lower left margin corner. The paper measures 15 7/8” x 10 3/4” (image: 14 5/16" x 9 1/2"). Very good overall condition and color with extensive embossing in the robe. There are two small old tape stains at the top back margin edge. This image is illustrated on page 22 of “Shiro Kasamatsu – The Complete Woodblock Prints” by Andreas Grund, Tokyo, 2001.
