Catalog note / 解説
This is a superb Original Japanese woodblock print entitled “RETURNING HOME” dating back to 1915. It was made by Fritz Capelari, who was the first Western artist to design prints for the Shin Hanga publisher Watanabe Shozaburo. The depiction shows a large group of colorfully dressed women walking home in the rain. All of them are carrying large traditional umbrellas, which are partly blocking our view. These beautifully ornamented umbrellas are of course the image’s main motive, but linking them to a Tokyo street scene is what truly brings out their elegance and diversity. The colors are still amazingly fresh and reveal the intensity of Fritz Capelari’s art! SPECIFICATIONS: _______________…
