Azechi Umetaro 1957 signed Woodblock print, "Mountaineer With Bird". 43/50

Description: Delve into the artistry of Azechi Umetaro with this evocative 1957 Woodblock Print titled "Mountaineer With Bird". Numbered as 43/50, this piece captures the essence of mountain climbers accompanied by a bird, reflecting the tranquil beauty of Japanese woodprinting. Showcasing Umetaro's craftsmanship, the print is set on paper, measuring 27 inches in height, 17.5 inches in length, and 2 inches in width, and is presented in a frame that complements its portrait orientation.Originating from Japan during the Showa period, this woodcut printing depicts a scene that resonates with the spirit of mountaineering. Each print is a single piece, handcrafted, and signed by the artist, affirming its authenticity. "Mountaineer With Bird" is not only a visual narrative of a bygone era but also a testament to the enduring appeal of Umetaro's art. The print was framed in Tokyo in the 60's by my parents. It has some nicks on the edges of the frame (see photos) but still looks good after nearly 50 years. The print itself is in excellent condition. The frame is quite light, but I can remove the print from the frame to decrease shipping costs if requested. Unframed, the art measures approximately 23" high x 15.5" wide. The art has always been in a non-smoking home. It is signed by the artist, with his stamp. It is numbered 43/50. Here are some details about the artist: Umetaro Azechi was a sosaku-hanga artist known for his bold and minimal prints of scenes depicting mountains and mountaineers. An accomplished mountaineer himself, his love of this pursuit is encapsulated in his wonderfully characterful portraits of fellow mountaineers, local people and the landscape. He continued to vigorously ascend mountains into his 80s. Azechi exhibited with the Nihon Sosaku-Hanga Kyokai (Japan Creative Print Association), the College Women's Association of Japan, and his work featured in many international exhibitions. His work has also entered numerous international museum collections including The British Museum and The Art Institute of Chicago.
