Description
Japanese Woodblock Print, 1948, later edition from the original blocks published by Unsodo
SIZE IN INCHES: oban, 11 x 16.25 inches
TAKEJI ASANO (1900-1999) was born in Kyoto. In 1919 he graduated from the Kyoto City School of Fine Arts and Crafts and then from the Kyoto City Specialist School of Painting in 1923. Among his Early Teachers was the artist and printmaker Tsuchida Bakusen. Asano helped to organize the Kyoto Creative Print Society (Kyoto Sosaku-Hanga Kyoka) in 1929.
In 1930, Asano along with other members of the Creative Print Society contributed several designs to a series of prints titled Creative Prints of Twelve Months in New Kyoto (Sosaku-hanga shin Kyoto junikagetsu), which were published by Uchida.
