Kiyoshi Saito Japanese Woodblock Print Sosaku - Hanga Ukiyo - E Vintage Signed RARE
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6813285 |
Rare woodblock print by Kiyoshi Saito. I have only been able to find one other like it, and it is housed at the AGGV (Art Gallery of Greater Victoria) in British Columbia. Really nice subject matter - the print, which I believe is titled "Chapel in Paris", has a fantastic stained glass window with religious figure at center. It is in good condition with a small light spot in the upper red and a tiny hole in near the stained glass in the black. I have included close up pictures of both ...these areas. The image measures 14" by 20" and the frame measures 24" by 29 1/2". It is recently framed with a nice rough linen matte. Last image the piece is shown next to a record album (12" size) for size reference. Not included in the sale.... unless you really really want it.
From wiki - Kiyoshi Saitō (斎藤 清 Saitō Kiyoshi, April 27, 1907 – November 14, 1997, born in Aizubange, Fukushima) was a sōsaku-hanga artist in 20th-century Japan. In 1938, he issued his first prints in his now famous "Winter in Aizu" series. Saitō was one of the first Japanese printmaking artists to have won at the São Paulo Biennale in 1951.[1] Saitō's early works depict villages populated with local Japanese with a high degree of realism and three-dimensionality. His more mature works merge modern elements with Japanese tradition. His prints feature architecture and plant life flattened in two-dimensionality.He spent time in Paris, and did a series there. Kiyoshi Saito’s woodblock prints titled “Autumn” are considered extremely rare and valuable.[2]

Please note, shipping calculators can be very tricky - and often wrong. I ship whichever method is most cost effective for you - regardless of what the auction states. 80% of the time the package will ship via the stated service (ie: fed ex home, priority mail, etc) however I will occasionaly have to switch services in order to not lose money on shipping. Also, I do try and combine shipping if you buy multiple items - this almost always means it will ship FED EX since it is more cost effective for heavier packages. Shipping may be higher for P.O. Box, especially for larger items.
