Subject:Help Identifying Artist of old Watercolor Please
Posted By: Masey Fri, Jul 25, 2014 IP: 70.123.125.172

I would be so grateful if anyone can help me identify the artist of this piece. I am pretty sure it was bought somewhere between 1930-1950.
Thank you!

Your woodblock print was done by Shiro Kasamatsu in 1935 and is titled "Red Gate at Hongo in Snow". Publisher is Watanabe.

It's not a watercolor. It is a Japanese woodblock print designed by Shiro Kasamatsu, originally published in 1935 by Watanabe.

this is a Shiro Kasamatsu more than likely mid 1930's to maybe early 40's.
