Description: *Please note that I have four vintage Katsuyuki Nishijima woodblock prints listed on eBay right now. I am more than happy to combine shipping, so please check out the others I have available. Nishijima, Katsuyuki (1945 - Present) "February Snow" ('Kisaragi' in Japanese) Original Woodblock Print obtained from Uchida's Hanga Art Gallery in Kyoto, Japan in the late 80's The information slip featuring some history on Nishijima-san is included, which was given to me when this print was originally purchased. STILL IN NEW CONDITION with strong and bright, bold colors, since it was never displayed or framed. It has been sitting forgotten in a flat file for decades. Rediscovered just last year, it was painfully obvious I no longer have any room to frame and display more art. My loss is your gain. Printed on excellent quality paper with the woodblock printing bleed-through visible underneath. Print is housed in a paper folder that doubles as a mat, protecting the artist's signature plus print title, also signed in pencil by the artist. The paper folder is meant to be temporary. If you choose to frame this wonderful piece, it should be matted so that the signature can be seen. The entire print with mat / folder measures 10 1/2" x 14". The print itself measures 10" x 13" with the actual image measuring 7 3/4" x 10 1/2", not including the border. Of course, you would mat larger than that to show the title and artist's signature. This print is no longer available from the artist, and is therefore only available on the secondary market. While looking at this print on the Internet, I noticed that more recent printings had slight differences, meaning some of the original blocks either wore down or broke and had to be replaced. This is truly an early 'vintage' offering! Please see the pics above to appreciate this wonderful piece of traditional Japanese wood block art. Comes from a climate-controlled, pet, and smoke-free home. Please read on for pertinent info below... Payment is due within 3 days of the auction's close and is open only to US residents. The item you see above is the exact one you will receive as no stock photos are used. Please check out my other listings to discover more great items! If you have any questions not answered above, feel free to write me. And most importantly, thank you for your business! (17)
