We only have a week until the unofficial end of summer! (We still believe in the fact that summer ends on September 22 😎 )

We hope you are able to spend a day (or two) at the beach! 🏖️

These lovely figures are from Paul Binnie's series 'A Day at the Beach' (which accompany his zodiac series). We hear that a new print is being completed soon, so watch this space for more info!

Our new exhibition "Rediscovered Treasures - The León Chattah Collection of Modern Japanese Prints" is online now!

On view as part of Asia Week NY, the exhibition features 70 woodblock prints by 20th century shin hanga masters.

The collection was recently 're-discovered' in the back of a closet after being stored for almost 50 years, and we are so glad that these beautiful prints will be seeing the light of day after so long!

Kawase Hasui (1883-1957)
The Miyajima in the Snow (JAPAN poster), ca. 1932

This poster is mounted with an original Hasui woodblock print that was commissioned in 1932 by the Ministry of Railways International Tourism Bureau to promote tourism to Japan to an audience overseas.

Although approximately 10,000 were originally printed, due to the ephemeral nature of poster distribution, we have only seen a handful of the posters survive intact.

Kawase Hasui (1883-1957)
Kyoto Gojo Bridge Watercolor, ca. 1920s-30s

Hasui was a watercolor painter by training - all of his print designs began as watercolors.

Unlike his ukiyo-e predecessors who often depicted landscapes they had never seen based on their imagination or compositions found in illustrated books, Hasui only sketched subjects that he saw himself. Throughout his life, he embarked on sketch tours seeking out views that he could transform into a woodblock print composition.

Felix Hilaire Buhot (1847-1898)
The Flying Fish (Le Poisson Volant), ca. 1873

Buhot's design is playful combination of images and nonsensical text from varying ukiyo-e print sources. The bird in the upper half of the composition is lifted directly from the 1857 print, Komakata Hall and Azuma Bridge from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858).

Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849)
The Hundred Poems [By the Hundred Poets] as Told by the Nurse: Ariwara no Narihira Ason [Rokkasen], 1835-36

The print references the poem by the poet Ariwara no Narihira (825-880), who is one of the Rokkasen (Six Immortal Poets). The Tale of Ise (Ise Monagatari), an anonymous 10th century collection of stories and poems, is believed to be based on his diaries.

Utagawa Yoshiiku (1833-1904)
The Great Elephant Born in the State of Barka in Central India, 1863

This print depicts a three-year-old female elephant imported from the state of Barka in Central India. The elephant arrived in 1863 and was exhibited in the western end of the Ryogoku Bridge, one of Edo's liveliest entertainment districts.
