Extra Large Woodblock Print!
1930's from Robert O. Muller collection

The Robert O. Muller collection for Japanese art enthusiasts- At Fuji Arts we're excited to offer pieces from a terrific acquisition; a wide ranging group of old ukiyo-e reprints from the Robert O. Muller collection (more details below). These prints are a great opportunity to collect some of the most famous images in Japanese art, in fine old editions, from a noted collection, at a tiny fraction of the cost of an original.
A Rare Opportunity- Check out these offerings. This unique combination of high quality, old reprints and fantastic provenance will not be repeated. Collect old prints with the Muller provenance and delve into the exotic world of old Japan.
How were these prints done? These beautiful woodblock reprints were done exactly as the originals. An artist carved a wood block, one for each color, and hand printed each print one color at a time. These old reprints are sought after for their meticulous attention to detail and color, rivaling the originals. Unlike the brighter, souvenir prints seen on the market these fine reprints show the attention to detail and careful color choices intended to exactly replicate the old originals.

Extra Large Woodblock Print!

Large Format Woodblock Prints- Tonight, we're excited to offer a very special group of prints in the field of old reprints. These fantastic, old reprints are extra large format prints - an amazing accomplishment in woodblock printing. The publisher selected several masterworks from the landscape and portrait tradition of ukiyo-e and recreated these incredible designs in an extra large format woodblock print. Notable examples of this special large printing release are the Great Wave, Shono Rain, Whirlpools at Awa, etc. These incredible, large woodblock prints are an impressive technical feat. Creating high quality woodblocks on this scale was very difficult for the artists and printers as the alignment and printing becomes increasingly difficult as the print size increases. Note the impressive dimensions of these large woodblock prints. They are a terrific opportunity for display either at home as an stunning large centerpiece in a room or used commercially in an office or restaurant setting.

Framed and matted, these terrific woodblock prints are large-scale works of art that can be used to fill a large wall. These famous subjects are instantly recognizable. These are woodblock prints done exactly as the originals were. The artists painstakingly carved a set of blocks (very large blocks in this case) and printed the images, color by color on fine high quality, hand-made paper. Have a look at these terrific, large woodblock prints - we have a nice selection this evening. If you have a special need for a good, old Japanese work of art, like one of these prints, you've found a unique item that you'll treasure for a lifetime!

Comments- A wonderful, classic Kiyonaga masterwork. A great genre scene and glimpse of life in 18 th century Japan...
