Extremely Rare 1947 Japanese Woodblock Print by Kenji Kawai Nijo Castle
Kawai did not produce a lot of woodblock prints, and the ones he did produce were fairly limited in their run, so he remains a coveted and difficult-to-find print artist. This piece depicts Nijo Castle on a fine day after a snowfall in winter. It was published by Unsodo in 1947. It is matted and framed (the matting is great) in a simple wood frame.

A very rare and beautiful print. The print is in very good condition. It has a few minor instances of foxing and a slight wrinkle on the left.

Minor staining on upper left portion of matting. The frame is in good shape, with some of the paper facade rubbing off.

Visible area of the print measures approximately 13.5 inches high by 8.5 inches wide though the print likely measures approximately15.825 x 10.5 under the matting. Frame measures approximately 19.25 inches high x 14.5 inches wide.
