1937 Japanese Woodblock Print – Illustrated Encyclopedia of Japanese Sweets by Terada Kazuo
Details
Original color woodblock-printed plates from Illustrated Encyclopedia of Japanese Sweets (Kokka Zukan) by Terada Kazuo, published by Nishinomiya Shoin, Osaka, in 1937 (Showa 12). The illustration depicts traditional Japanese wagashi (confections) in finely printed pastel colors with accompanying Japanese text identifying each sweet. Originally issued as part of a deluxe reference work documenting regional Japanese confectionery, these plates have become prized for their elegant design and exceptional printing quality.
Ready to be matted and framed, this original print is both a collectible work on paper and a sophisticated piece of Japanese decorative art.
Light age toning consistent with age.
