Tsuchiya Kôitsu (1870-1949)

28.6 x 20.7 cm. Title: Yokohama Sankeien. Women on an early evening stroll in spring. Signed: Kôitsu. Seal: Shin. Watermarked paper. Block carver: Harada. Printer: Yokoi. Publisher: Doi Hangaten. Date: Shôwa 11 (1936). Very good impression, colours minimally faded, yellowed on front, browned on verso, some stains from former mat, thin spot, sticky tape verso

Prints with the seal combination of Doi Hangaten/Harada/Yokoi have long been accepted as a post-war publication from re-carved blocks. More recent study has shown that the publisher did use the name Doi Hangaten already as early as 1937, and was working with Harada and Yokoi at the time.
