Mountain Guide No.1 by Umetaro Azechi
PRIVATE COLLECTION
Details
Mountain Guide No.1 by Umetaro Azechi (Japan,1902-1999). Sosaku Hanga Japanese woodblock print depicting a mountaineer breaking for a (presumed) coffee and smoke. Umetaro Azechi was an avid mountaineer himself and his subjects often featured his experiences in the mountains. I envision this being a contemplative break after a long day of hiking where he's settling down for the night. A limited edition print numbered 52 of 100. Self printed by the artist in 1953. Pencil signed by the artist.
Size: 15 3/4" h x 11 1/4" w
Condition: Excellent impression and color. Minor thinning at bottom margin; slight bleeding of blue pigments.
Artist: Umetaro Azechi
