*Please note that I have four vintage Katsuyuki Nishijima woodblock prints listed on eBay right now.  I am more than happy to combine shipping, so please check out the others I have available.




Nishijima, Katsuyuki (1945 - Present)


"November" ('Shimotsuki' in Japanese, meaning "Month of Frost")


The subject is Cha Ippodo, an old, famous teahouse on Teramachi Street in Kyoto - the way it USED to look with outdoor seating


Original Woodblock Print obtained from Uchida's Hanga Art Gallery in Kyoto, Japan in the late 80's


The information slip featuring some history on Nishijima-san is included, which was given to me when this print was originally purchased.


STILL IN NEW CONDITION with strong and bright, bold colors, since it was never displayed or framed.  It has been sitting forgotten in a flat file for decades.  Rediscovered just last year, it was painfully obvious I no longer have any room to frame and display more art.  My loss is your gain.


Printed on excellent quality paper with the woodblock printing bleed-through visible underneath.


Print is housed in a paper folder that doubles as a mat, protecting the artist's signature plus print title, also signed in pencil by the artist.  The paper folder is meant to be temporary.  If you choose to frame this wonderful piece, it should be matted so that the signature can be seen.


The entire print with mat / folder measures 10 1/2" x 14".  The print itself measures 10" x 13" with the actual image measuring 7 3/4" x 10 1/2", not including the border.  Of course, you would mat larger than that to show the title and artist's signature.


This print is no longer available from the artist and is one not seen or offered as often as some of his others, making this one more scarce.


Please see the pics above to appreciate this wonderful piece of traditional Japanese wood block art.  Comes from a climate-controlled, pet, and smoke-free home.
