Kan Kawada Print - Ryuan-ji Stone Garden
Click on image above for more views

.

This is a fantastic, original Japanese print by Kan Kawada (1924-1999). It looks like a woodblock print when first viewed, but it is actually a stencil, the medium for which the artist was best known. It it a peaceful scene depicting a traditional Japanese rock garden. It is signed in pencil by Kan Kawada, dated 1982, numbered 52/200, and titled in Japanese: Stone Garden Ryuan-ji, followed by (B). What is most unusual about this print is the size; the image is approximately 3 by 26 1/2 inches. The print is in fine condition and has never been framed. For safe storage, we had the print matted using archival material, mounting corners (to prevent exposure to tape)and protected with shrink wrap. The mat size is 36 x 13 inches, the mat opening is 5 x 28 1/2 inches, and the print size, measured before matting, was 8 x 31 inches ...... $750.00
