Overview: Up for sale is this very neat woodblock print, "Tea Ceremony," by Sadanobu Hasegawa III. Sadanobu was a very distinguished midcentury printmaker descended from a long line of printmakers. This artist primarily focused on traditional Japanese subjects, particularly Japanese theater, historical events and (like here) beautiful Japanese women. I believe this print was produced by the artist and distributed through the Uchida publishing company. It dates to the 1950s. Print appears to be original to the 1950s as well. It really presents a nice slice of Japanese life and would make an excellent addition at any ukiyo-e collection. It comes matted in the original folio (tipped to the matting along the right edge).
Condition: The print and matting are in very good condition. Minor toning.
Measurements: Print measures approximately 11.125 inches high by 8.25 inches wide. Matting measures 13.625 inches high x 10.125 inches wide.
