After Takahashi Shotei – Cold Winter Wind

Japanese woodblock print. The first edition of this design was published between 1923 and 1936. The current print was printed circa 1935.

The print is known under the title Wind Blowing at Tsukuba, but it is a knockoff print of Takahashi Shotei’s Cold Winter Wind, published by Watanabe. Though the knockoff is of good quality in general, the current print is a poor impression, that would surely not have passed quality control had it actually been published by Watanabe.

Image size (excluding margins): 37.4 * 16.4 cm (14.7 * 6.5 in).

The print is in very good state, but though other parts are printed well, it is a poor impression due to missing paint at various places, leaving behind white marks.

The pictures shown here are from the print itself.
