Original Eiichi Kotozuka (1906 - 1979) Japanese Woodblock Print
Rice Planting

From the Uchida Publisher Archives - We were fortunate to purchase a wonderful collection of 20th century prints directly from the archives of the Uchida Art Company of Kyoto. The classic 20th century prints offered in our auction from this collection are all first edition prints of various designs released by the Uchida company in the mid-20th century. These first edition prints are unusual to come by in a nice group as they were generally sold off as they were produced. This excellent collection was held back and recently sold from the Uchida archives. These prints are a nice opportunity to collect a lovely 20th century print, or perfect as reasonably priced gifts. Don't miss out on these prints, once they sell out, we won't have them again!

Comments - Beautiful landscape view of workers planting rice in the fields under a falling rain. At left women plant the small seedlings in the flooded beds, while at right a man in a straw raincoat plows a field with an ox. A stone torii gate flanked by lanterns is nestled among the rich green foliage at upper right. A lovely rural scene.
