View of the temple courtyard in the snow. One woman walks with an umbrella. Signed Koitsu; with artist's red ink seal. Published by Baba Nobuhiko, with publisher's seal; printer Sato's seal and carver Ikeda's seal to the lower left margin. Version with the dove.
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: Very good color and condition. Not backed. Tape remnants and minor staining as shown.
