Presenting a remarkable Japanese woodblock print titled 'Iris' by the esteemed artist Tsuchiya Rakuzan (土屋楽山, 1896-1976). From the renowned series 'Rakuzan KachŠGafu' (Rakuzan's Flower and Bird Prints), this piece captures the delicate beauty of nature with meticulous detail. The print has significant age-related toning across the entire sheet, giving it a tan/yellow appearance, and features a rough, uneven left edge consistent with being cut from a bound portfolio. Minor edge wear is included, such as a small crease at the top right corner and a small tear/chip at the bottom right corner, along with a few small dark spots (possible foxing) visible in the left margin. Despite its fair condition, Rakuzan's work remains highly collectible, valued for its refined lines and sophisticated color palette. Dimensions: 11 1/2 x 17 inches.
