Lot Details
Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760-1849) Ashi Clam (Ashi gai) with Cranes Near the Waves, from the series Genroku Shell-Matching Game (Genroku Kasen Kai-awase), circa 1821 Surimono woodblock print with gaufrage, embellished with silver and gold mica 7-1/2 x 6-3/4 inches (19.1 x 17.1 cm) (sheet, shikishiban) Effaced signature Property from the Nelkin Collection HID12401132022 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
A beautiful print with gaufrage details. The condition of the work is consistent with its age. Mild toning to sheet, appearing even throughout recto; verso presents with a few areas of deeper toning likely inherent to the inks used. A few minor areas of accretions evident primarily along edges likely due to handling. Mild handling dents throughout sheet, primarily evident under raking light. Mild marks on verso including some mild foxing, a few foxing marks evident recto, do not appear to greatly impact composition. Some areas of ink wear/loss along extreme edges Unframed. No tears or losses observed.
