JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINTS, LOT OF THREE, comprising one Takahashi Hiroaki (1871-1945), "Mount Fuji seen from Kuraswa", circa 1936; one Ogata Gekko (1859-1920), "Young Grasses" from the series Comparisons between Beauties and Flowers, circa 1897; one Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825), oban panel from triptych "Cherry Blossoms in the Wind", signature on bottom left but not publisher, likely 20th century reprint. Smallest 10 1/4" x 14 1/8"; largest 11" x 16 1/8" OA. 
Catalogue Note: Utagawa Toyokuni was originally printed commercially around 1796 to 1800. At that time, it would have featured a publisher's seal (like Izumiya Ichibei, a popular publisher from the 1680s to 1886), but it is missing.

Condition

The prints are in very good to good overall condition, with discoloration and toning on all. Hiroaki has some light undulations in the paper and foxing on the backing card stock, attached to the backing in the upper corners; the method is unclear. Gekko is missing the upper left corner and has two remnant pieces of fabric tape on the upper edge. Toyokuni has seven horizontal fold lines and moderate staining on the back, visible on the front by the feet; remnants of previous tape remain, along with discoloration where the other tape was removed.

Provenance

From a North Carolina private collection.
