Miki Suizan 三木翠山: Hozu Rapids in Early Summer (Hatsunatsu no Hozugawa)
Artist: Miki Suizan (1887-1957)
Title: Hozu Rapids in Early Summer
Date: 1924
Interesting work showing two men enjoying the experience of river rapids from a small wooden boat that is being steered by three different boatmen. The passengers would seem to be tourists, as there is no luggage to be seen. Shoka no Hozu-gawa is from the series of 14 prints “New Selection of Noted Places of Kyoto--First Series”. The Toledo catalog indicates that this print was printed in an edition of only 200.
Condition: Very good impression, color and condition. Small nick in upper left margin.Dimensions:
