Greetings. I was researching several Japanese prints on John Resig's excellent site, and found that no copies of this particular image (url link below) were to be found. Not sure what that means, but one individual said it looked Chinese, rather than Japanese. I would be most grateful for any and all input from the members of this forum. Additionally, I found that the artist credited for one of my prints was one Izuno Gizan (1885-1957). Have yet to find much information about this individual, and would also be grateful for any references.

This is Japanese, but in the style of Chinese landscapes.

Thank you for that. I am still hoping to find out who the artist was. I have found one other copy of this print, advertised by an antiques site and merely described as "Chinese style", but with no other information. As mentioned, this did not show up on John Resig's site. Don't know if it's because the print is rare or there were so few done.

This print was published by the Uchida Art Company in Kyoto in the 1950s; paper size is large oban format (O-oban).

Guy.

The seal on the lower left margin is the seal of Uchida Han - a Japanese publisher of woodblock prints, founded in the early 20th century and still in business today.

Thanks to you both for the information. You are most kind. Might I ask, any thoughts as to the artist?

The artist is indeed Izuno Gizan.

Guy.
