About the Item

A beautifully composed and richly colored woodblock print by famed Japanese shin-hanga artist/printmaker Ito Shunsui (1898-1972) titled "Snow at the Shrine (Shatô no yuki)" from Shinsui's The First Series of Modern Beauties (The work is also sometimes referred to as "The Grounds of a Shinto Shrine in Snow"). The work features an image of a beautiful young woman walking delicately along a snow covered path (She wears tall geta/wooden sandals to keep her feet dry) between a large stone lantern and arching, venerable pine tree, her umbrella protecting her from any falling snow. The detail in her dark garment/kimono and snow laden tree branches is really quite wonderful. This print was created in Winter, 1930 and is from a limitted edition of 250 (numbered on the verso) of which few prints survive today, thus exceptionally rare and quite scarce. This is Shinsui’s only full-length portrait of a beauty set in an outdoor environment. The print is signed in black ink and sealed in red by the artist with the publisher's (Watanabe Shozaburo) 6mm circular mark/seal in the bottom right corner. Literature: “The Women of Shin Hanga”, plate 41, page 182. Reigle Newland, Amy, and Hamanaka Shinji, The female image: 20th century prints of Japanese beauties, 2000, p. 66, pl. 61. A copy of this work can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA), The Japanese Gallery, Kensington, The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) amongst others. Shinsui's works can be found in numerous collections and museums worldwide including: The Virginia Museum of Fine Art, The Toledo Museum of Art The Hiroshima Museum of Art The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco The Minneapolis Institute of Art The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston The University of Michigan Museum of Art The Indianapolis Museum of Art The Hood Museum of Art The Columbus Museum of Art The Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura Hayama The Los Angeles County Museum of Art The Brooklyn Museum The Harvard Art Museums The British Museum, London, UK A highly coveted piece. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art/print collection or make for an eye catching stand alone accent artwork in about any setting. Framed in Japan. Frame dimensions: 23" high, 17"" wide, .75" deep Viewable art: 16" x 10.5"
