"Twenty Scenes of Tokyo" ("Tokyo Nijikei") 1925-30 |

Lacks publisher's seal (not uncommon, occasionally omitted). |

9 3/8 x 14 1/4 |
Impression |
Very Fine. Superbly executed "bokashi" shading; heavy "gauffrage" to "raise" lower falling snowflakes;
nicely detailed. |
Condition |
Very Good+++. Excellent colors. Clean front and backside. (Light age-toning; small collector's notations
verso edges, slightly bumped lower right corner--otherwise flawless.) |
Reference/Illus |
Narazaki #150; Blair "1930 Toledo Catalogue" #84. |
Comments |
Stunning--one of Hasui's most dramatic falling snow scenes. VERY seldom seen. Fine condition for this
early image (with the "correct" early seal, this print would be $3000-4000). |
