Item Details

This is a vintage figural woodblock print. A Japanese, washi paper reproduction after the original by Hashiguchi Goyō, dating to the mid 20th century, circa 1950.


Titled Woman at the Bath (also known as Woman Bathing or Yokujō no onna), a famous 1915 colour woodblock print by the Japanese shin-hanga artist Hashiguchi Goyō (1880–1921). His estate recreated the original woodblocks in the mid 20th century, after the originals were lost to fire shortly after his passing. v

Set within a chamfered later frame and mounted within black border card

Hesitant to create such a work, it signified this was just an experiment, not his final artistic statement


This is a fascinating vintage figural woodblock print, being an official reproduction of the limited, 100 edition run of 1915, skilfully recreated into woodblock by the artist's estate. A treat for collectors of Japanese art. Delivered ready to display.
