Koitsu - Teahouse in Yotsuya

Tsuchiya Koitsu (1870 - 1949)

Publisher: Doi
Date: 1935
Genre: Shin-hanga, Meisho-e

Beautiful scene of the entrance to a Teahouse in Yotsuya, Araki-cho. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading, life-like shadowing, highly detailed. Early edition printing.

Like Kawase, Hasui, Koitsu Tsuchiya's prints immortalize Japan's landscapes. He expertly uses effects of light and shadow. At the age of 15, he moved to Tokyo to study woodblock printing under Matsuzaki, a carver for the ukiyo-e master Kiyochika Kobayashi. He then became a student of Kiyochika. For 19 years, Koitsu lived in Kiyochika’s home, studying the art of Japanese woodblock printing. In 1931, he met the publisher Watanabe and focused on Japanese landscape prints in the Shin Hanga style.

Condition: Great color and condition. Not backed. Tape remnants across the top border as shown.
