Details

This design has a strong photographic quality. The exceedingly well-done reflection of the gate in the moat is almost misleading—we believe it in our age of photography and mechanical reproduction but when you look closely and see the amount of work that went into carving and printing this design, the mirror-like reflection is that much more a marvel.

Connoisseur's Note

This print is a true time capsule. It was never framed or displayed and was stored in archival boxes. Prints in this pristine condition seldom come up for sale.  This is an exceedingly rare opportunity to own a stunning Hasui design with fresh and vivid colors in its original state.
