Item Description
They look like they are waiting on something. I wonder what it is.
This auction item is a stunning Shin Hanga woodblock print by Shiro Kasamatsu.
Shiro Kasamatsu (ç¬ æ¾ 紫浪, Kasamatsu ShirÅÂÂÂÂ, 11 January 1898, Tokyo – 14 June 1991) was a Japanese engraver and print maker trained in the Shin-Hanga and SÅÂÂÂÂsaku-Hanga styles of woodblock printing.
Kasamatsu was born in Tokyo in 1898 and apprenticed at the age of 13 to Kaburagi Kiyokata (1878–1973), a traditional master of Bijin-ga, pictures of beautiful women. Kasamatsu however took an interest in landscape and was given the pseudonym Shiro by his teacher, which he used as a signature mark in his prints.[1] Kasamatsu made woodblock prints for the publisher ShÅÂÂÂÂzaburÅÂÂÂÂ Watanabe from 1919. Almost all the woodblocks were destroyed in a fire in Watanabe's print shop following the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Around 50 prints were published by Watanabe by the late 1940s. Kasamatsu began to partner with Unsodo in Kyoto from the 1950s and produced nearly 102 prints by 1960. He also began to print and publish on his own in the SÅÂÂÂÂsaku-Hanga style. He produced nearly 80 SÅÂÂÂÂsaku-Hanga prints between 1955 and 1965
Measures approximately 13" x 19"
