Discover this exquisite etching by Kenji Ushiku titled '- Clown -', measuring 8 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches. This limited edition piece is hand-numbered as '100/200' and features the artist's signature in pencil, ensuring its authenticity and value. The print showcases a unique green and yellow aquatint background, with characteristic line work depicting a pensive subject along with a small dog. Though it has some minor surface scuffs and the mat board exhibits slight wear, these details do not detract from the beauty of this artwork. A plate mark is visible on the reverse, confirming its etching process. Kenji Ushiku (1922-2012) was a notable 20th-century Japanese printmaker, recognized for his introspective figures and gentle stylistic approach. This piece is unframed and comes from a well-respected artist active within the Sōsaku-hanga movement, making it a must-have for collectors and art enthusiasts alike.

**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.
