Product code: Japanese Modernist Woodblock Print order by Toshijiro Inagaki
Up for sale is this very stylish woodblock print, "Maiko on a Bridge," by Toshijiro (Nenjiro) Inagaki. Inagaki was one of the forerunners of bringing modernist Western themes to traditional ukiyo-e Japanese printmaking. His prints always ooze 1960's cool and style and he's one of my personal favorites. This print depicts a beautiful woman (a "maiko") on a bridge overlooking a river and city beyond. It does resemble the Kamo River in Kyoto (looking toward the western bank), but I'm not entirely sure of the location. Print is framed in a simple black frame. Please see my other listings, as this is one of four Inagaki prints I recently acquired. Condition: The print and frame are in excellent condition. Please see photos. Measurements: Visible area of the print measures approximately 5.75 order inches wide x 4 inches high. Frame measures approximately 8.75 inches wide x 6.75 inches tall.
