THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET A GREAT VERY RARE MID CENTURY TREASURE PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM SAITO'S STUDIO IN JAPAN DURING THE 195Os-196Os

Saito's large prints sell for high amounts of money (normally over $15OO each).  Always a proponent of a classless society, Kiyoshi Saito created art for everyone.  The beautiful prints I offer (both mixed media and full woodblock prints, on folding cards) were made to allow more people to enjoy his work.  These prints are no less authentic nor magnificent than his larger prints, and provide affordable alternatives for the discriminating art lover.  I have a limited number of these incredible works of art, and have never seen them offered anywhere else, so this is a special offering and rare opportunity to acquire and own real Saito prints. 

On an episode of Antiques Roadshow, in Cleveland, 2 Saito prints were featured and appraised. Highly collectible, with unique Cubist, Modern and Abstract elements, his prints are worth many hundreds of dollars, and more. This woodblock print is an excellent example of Saito's amazing work.

I am giving you an opportunity to buy this creative and very special KIYOSHI SAITO (1907-1997) print 

IT IS NOT A REPRODUCTION

 ~ THIS MASTERFUL PRINT is a HIGHLY UNIQUE COMBINATION ~

  of a Photo-Mechanical (Offset Print) foundation upon which Saito has laid individual woodcut designs in rich colors. There is bleed through to the back of the print. Always an innovator of Sosaku - Hanga, Saito employed this creative pairing of machine and woodcut printing to achieve incredible depth and intrigue in this extraordinary work of art. The offset printing provides the ultimate in highly detailed textural effects, which are overlaid with layers of subtly contrasting rich ink. (Saito often made numerous impressions of colors to give his work the deepest tones, with tremendous depth.) This unusual approach creates a harmony of hues and textures, as well as an integration of the underlying aesthetics and unique ensemble of artist-selected colors. The multi-planer overlay of woodblock print elements, spectacularly splendid serene saturation incorporating selected tones and the specific spiritual nature of the piece are magnificent.    

 What an amazing find! Carefully stored away for many decades, this very special, original, old stock print on folding card ~by Kiyoshi Saito~ can be framed or used as very special greeting card.

There is no reserve on this absolutely gorgeous, supremely superb, hand~crafted, gallery~quality, Japanese print by the master Japanese woodblock artist KIYOSHI SAITO. Marvelous modern Mondrian style designs are truly stunning. The rich ruby red, umber brown, mustard, grays, claret and black colors are exceptionally lovely. These elegant works of art, with their sweetly contrasting forms and colors, are a sensual delight!

This image would look marvelous in any venue, displayed with other similar items, or simply displayed alone, perhaps on a stand, or framed. What a wonderful gift this would be for any print collector or lover of Japanese art!
