I recently purchase a large collection of original Japanese Woodblock prints dating from the 1700's to the mid 1900's. All are original and all are from the same collection of Japanese fine arts. The collector lived in Japan before WWII and returned in 1946. He was a professor and major collector. Please see my other auctions for great Japanese antiques, original woodblock prints and other Asian items. Again, all these items are from one collection and fresh to the market.Up for auction is an original antique Tsukioka Yoshitoshi Japanese woodblock print dating from the late 1800's. This is an original from this era and was published by Taiso. Titled "Cooling off at Shijo" and is from the 100 Views of the Moon series. Marked by the artist and publisher as seen below. This is an original from this era and has great detail and design by this famous artist. Condition is very nice for its age. Has no holes, no tears, no folds and no creases.
