In Reply to: Maki, Okamoto and Unno prints posted by Martin Gaspar on January 16, 1998 at 17:51:19:
: In 1976 I visited the Japanese Cultural
: Arts Center in Kyoto and purchased some prints. Of
: these I have the following.
: 1. A Maki Print- "Work 74-53", No. 20/152.
: 2. A Shogo Okamoto etching, the name of the print
: is in japanese. However, the piece is reproduced
: in Francis Blakemore's book "Who's Who in Modern
: Japanese Prints" on page 144. There it is
: Identified as "Singing Tree with Cicadas". It
: is numbered 18/80. The print is signed
: S. Okamoto in pencil.
: 3. A Mitsuhiro Unno Print of a small boy in blue
: overtones on the lower left. Above him Hovers
: a drying squid that strangely looks like an oldman
: with a beard and mustaches. Also in the background is a
: press of some kind.It's named in Japanese, signed
: by the artist "M Unno" and numbered 10/100 all in
: pencil.
: My question is rather pedestrian. What are the
: values of these prints? Please advise and add any
: info regarding the artitsts.
