Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketCave at Takinogawa Size: 22.0cm by 35.0cm (8.66 in by 13.78 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [L] ? Designer: Katsushika Hokusai Era: Mid Showa | Currency: $ / £ / € Price: ¥ 8,000$ 62.00£ 48.75€ 57.50   Description: The image we see here would have been considered very 'experimental' in its day, being made in imitation of a western 'chiaroscuro' print. Japanese prints of this era never had any recognizable source of light - they never used devices such as shadows, or the shading we seen here on the hillsides. There is also a meaningless scribbled border around the edge, in clear imitation of a carved wooden frame, and as a final western touch, the title is written horizontally, as opposed to the vertical pattern then common to both Chinese and Japanese. Cultural appropriation! :-) This version is a post-war reproduction by the Adachi Company.       Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
