Shiro KASAMATSU (1898-1991) "Gate at Enkaku Temple, Kamakura" 1954 Print size is 15.75" x 10.75" Early Edition Pristine condition No tears, folds or creases. This print is perfect in every way. Strong image bleedthrough to verso Master Kasamatsu was reknowned for his romantic landscapes depicting traditional Japanese life and landmarks. His use of foreground elements, like branches, to draw in the viewer and give the image depth, was a design technique first employed by Ukiyo-e Master Hiroshige. This early strike evidences the publisher's watermark (GEI) in the lower right corner and the all-important double carver (Nagashima)/printer (Shinmi) seals as well as the artist seal. Master Shinmi is quite elderly and has long been retired, evidencing this print to be an early edition. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a print from one of the true master printers of the Shin Hanga era. Master Kasamatsu is well-known worldwide for his breathtaking landscape images in the classic shin hanga tradition. This lovely spring scene at sacred Enkaku Temple is a stunning invitation to enter the evening world of worship.
