A really light and beautiful print. This print was produced by Eiichi Kotozuka. Kotozuka was born in Kyoto and was one of the major forces in the shin hanga movement. He, along with Tokuriki, Tobei and Tasaburo formed the Koryokusha publishing company in an effort to break free of the major publishing companies. I have not been able to pin down a specific date for this print, but I believe it dates to the 1950s. It would make an excellent addition once framed to any art collection. Print is unframed.

Condition: The print is in very good condition. There is some mild toning as well as a spot of foxing near upper center. Please see the photos. I'm happy to answer any particular questions about condition or provide additional photos.

Measurements: Print measures approximately 10.75 inches wide x 8.25 inches high. less
