Description: Two wonderful Japanese woodblock prints by Paul Jacoulet entitled "Daikoku The God of Wealth, Personified by a Courtesan of Shimabara. Kyoto, Japan" and "Ebisu, the God of Good Luck, Personified by a Courtesan of Shimabara. Kyoto, Japan."

They are listed as print #123 in "The Prints of Paul Jacoulet" by Richard Miles. According to Miles, this pair was dedicated to the artist on his supposed 50th birthday.

Ebisu was published on October 7, 1952. It is sealed with the coin seal and was carved by Maeda and printed by Onodera.

Daikoku was published October 26, 1952. It is sealed with the coin seal and was carved by Maeda and printed by Onodera.

Condition: Both prints are laid down on cardboard. I am not sure if it is acid-free or not, but the colors are vibrant, and they retain the mica detailing. The margins of both prints have been trimmed. Additionally, someone has made a pencil notation in the margin of ones of the prints.

Measurements:
Ebisu: Plate: 15 1/2" high x 12" wide; 17 3/8" high x 13 3/4" wide
Daikoku: Plate:15 1/2" high x 12" wide; Paper size: 17 3/4" high x 13 3/4" wide

T is some slight toning to the prints that I thought that I had mentioned in the condition description. I think that the pics represent it well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
