Description
Shin Awakawa (新荒川 ) Paper size: 26.3 x 20.5 cm. Number 3 from an edition of 50, published by Nakajima Jûtarô in June 1930, as part of the series One Hundred Views of New Tokyo - Shin Tokyo hyakkei. With the original folder (detail 1) showing the title slip of the series plus a red stamp giving the title of the print (right) and the artist (left). Shin Tokyo hyakkei is undoubtedly the best pre-war series of Sôsaku Hanga, with contributions by the ten leading artists of the period.
Condition
Fine impression, colours and condition the folder shows minor foxing. In my opinion this seemingly unassuming print is one of the best from the series! RARE
