(JAPANESE PRINTS.) Kawanishi, Hide. One Hundred Scenes of Kobe.
(JAPANESE PRINTS.) Kawanishi, Hide. One Hundred Scenes of Kobe. 100 tipped-in bright, graphic views of modern Kobe, with descriptive text in Japanese and English on facing page. Thick folio, publisher's original pictorial boards, edges and spine unevenly faded, spine ends slightly bumped; hinges starting. [Tokyo, 1962]
- Notes: One of the leaders of modern Japanese printmaking, Kawanishi favored bold, saturated colors and rejected the black outlines typical of classical Japanese ukiyo-e. He created a series of similar collections between 1929 and this, his last work. Most focused on life in Kobe, Kawanishi''s home city. Soon after this was published in 1962, he won the Kobe Shinbun Peace Prize.
- Condition: All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries'' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.
