This stunning Japanese Woodblock Print showcases the artistry of Mokuchu (Yoshijiro) Urushibara, who was an influential printmaker in the s�saku-hanga movement. Urushibara (1888-1953), born in Tokyo, was pivotal in the revival of color woodblock printing in Britain after moving to London in 1910. He skillfully blended traditional ukiyo-e techniques with modern European styles, often depicting animals, landscapes, and floral subjects. This piece is a testament to his talent.

The print measures 14 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches and features age-related toning, especially prominent on the reverse. Notably, there is tape residue on the reverse top edge, which could potentially damage the paper over time. The print also bears the pencil signature 'Y. Urushibara' in the lower left and the artist's red 'Mokuchu' seal, confirming its authenticity. Condition reports indicate a small tear and general roughness along the top edge, likely from tape removal. Unframed, this piece holds historical significance and reflects Urushibara's legacy in woodblock printing.

**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
