Description
The experience of viewing prints by Koichi Maeda is similar to that of viewing woodblock prints by Kawase Hasui. The current print remotely reminds one of the print by Kawase Hasui called “Morning at Niju Bridge”, perhaps because of the presence of a bridge and the sun coloring the sky in the background. As always, it turns out that on a more superficial level, the prints are neither alike in composition nor in techniques, and that the similarities between Koichi Maeda and Kawase Hasui really lay in the experience their woodblock prints evoke.
Condition notes
The print is in very good condition. There are wrinkles in the left margin, extending slightly into the image. There are also two irregularities in the left corners, as if the print has been clipped at one point.
