Description
A Japanese color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, depicting a landscape scene. The composition features a stone arch bridge with two figures, a large weeping willow tree dominating the left side, distant buildings, and a foreground pond with lily pads and a blooming lotus flower. The print is executed on paper using a multi-color woodblock technique with a subdued palette. Visible Japanese text along the left margin includes the date “大正八年” (Taisho 8th year), which corresponds to 1919, the artist’s signature “川瀬巴水作” (Kawase Hasui saku), and the title “柳に石橋” (Willow and Stone Bridge). Two red seals, presumed to be artist’s seals, are present on the print’s surface. The reverse side shows faint pencil inscriptions “Weeping Willow & Stone Bridge” and “50-484”.
Condition report:
Overall good condition, with general paper toning and light handling marks consistent with age.
