Description: Overview: Up for sale is this very neat woodblock print, "Maiko Playing Hanetsuki Game," by Sadanobu Hasegawa III, which depicts a lovely traditional Japanese woman playing hanetsuki, a game akin to badminton. Sadanobu was a very distinguished midcentury printmaker descended from a long line of printmakers. This artist primarily focused on traditional Japanese subjects, particularly Japanese theater, historical events and (like here) beautiful Japanese women. I believe this print was produced by the artist and distributed through the Uchida publishing company. It dates to the 1950s. Print appears to be original to the 1950s as well. It really presents a nice slice of Japanese life and would make an excellent addition at any ukiyo-e collection. It comes matted in the original folio (tipped to the matting along the right edge). Condition: Print is in very good condition with minor toning. Top layer of matting is torn off. Measurements: Print measures approximately 11.125 inches high by 8.25 inches wide. Matting measures 13.625 inches high x 10.125 inches wide. Shipping: I typically ship using the least expensive available service (UPS, Fed Ex or USPS).
