| Title | "Ohashi Bridge in Rain" (given name) |
| Date | ca1920/30's |
| Provenance | Consigned by a knowledgable Florida print collector/dealer. |
| Image Size | LARGE 12 7/8 x 19 1/4 |
| Technique | Original watercolor. Superbly executed shading, life-like shadowing and "wet" appearance; nicely detailed. |
| Condition | Nearly Excellent. Fresh, strong colors. (Very faint mat-line image edges--otherwise absolutely flawless. Laid-down onto thin acid-free backing.) An amazingly fresh painting. |
| Comments | Beautiful scene of a lively bridge crossing--an image that has drama, movement and conveys the pace at that time in Japan on a rainy day. The wooden planks on the bridge look and feel wet. Well known as a painter of impressionistic landscape watercolors, in 1935 Yokouchi also began self-carving and printing his own woodblock prints--producing a total of 8 self-published designs. A unique, truly ONE-of-a-kind artwork. (Learn more) Reminiscent of Hiroshige's prints--this masterful work is clearly finest watercolor we've ever encountered. |
