Unbelievably Rare and Valuable

KIYOSHI SAITO 

JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINT

on FOLDING CARD 

Signed with Chop

please read:

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 small prints I offer were made to allow more people to enjoy his work.  

These real woodblock 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. 

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET A SUPERB MID CENTURY TREASURE

Purchased directly from Saito during the 195Os in Japan, offered today is this very special KIYOSHI SAITO (1907-1997) print

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.

What an incredibly rare find! Carefully stored away since the 195Os, this original, old stock, woodblock print on a folding card, by Kiyoshi Saito, is extraordinarily beautiful.

It is not a reproduction.

There is no reserve on this hand~crafted, gallery~quality, Japanese print by the master Japanese woodblock artist KIYOSHI SAITO. A marvelous, highly detailed depiction of three figures (two on a sled being pulled by a third) is truly stunning. Please see photo for beautiful composition of lovely figures, elegant trees and majestic mountains in the distance. The warm browns, soft grays, rich cobalt and black colors are exceptionally lovely. This elegant work of art, with its sweetly contrasting forms and colors, is a sensual delight! It is signed with the Artist's Personal Chop. 

Every color of this print represents a separate woodblock, skillfully designed, drawn and carved with special tools by Master Artist Saito approximately 5O years ago. After painstaking carving, the blocks are hand inked (with a brayer), paper is placed over the prepared block and the ink is transferred from the raised surfaces of the wood to the paper by rubbing methods. Execution of each step takes tremendous skill and patience. This is the oldest technique of making prints and this is a truly fantastic, real woodblock print of superb quality.

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

It is in excellent condition.  Sale is final. 

measurements:

6  1/8" by 4  1/4"

This print has tremendous character and grace.

Kiyoshi Saito's incredibly beautiful prints are displayed in a museum dedicated to him alone - the Yanaizu Municipal Saito Kiyoshi Museum (in Japan), and in the following: Cincinnati Art Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, San Francisco, New York Public Library, Art Institute of Chicago, Fukushima Prefectural Museum of Art and Kanagawa Prefectural Museum.
