    • TOYONOSUKE KUROZUMI (DATES UNKOWN). [RETURN TRAIN FOR SPRING.] Circa 1930. 36x25 inches, 92x64 cm.
      Nov. 18, 2009

      TOYONOSUKE KUROZUMI (DATES UNKOWN). [RETURN TRAIN FOR SPRING.] Circa 1930. 36x25 inches, 92x64 cm.

      Est: $2,000 - $3,000

      TOYONOSUKE KUROZUMI (DATES UNKOWN) [RETURN TRAIN FOR SPRING.] Circa 1930. 36 1/4x25 inches, 92x64 cm. Condition B+ / A: repaired tears and abrasions in margins, some slightly affecting image; creases in margins and image. Taking a different approach in a different season, Korozumi depicts the wonders of spring, and the natural beauties of the mountains. The poster promotes discounts for group tickets on travel throughout Kyoto and most likely depicts lake Biwa. The elegantly dressed and very stylized hiker that Kurozumi depicts is relaxing from his mountain walk and enjoying a cigarette. With very little Western study having been done on pre-war Japanese Art Deco poster design, there is currently no available information on this extremely talented and versatile artist.

    • TOYONOSUKE KUROZUMI (DATES UNKOWN). [THE NORTHERN ALPS.] Circa 1930. 43x31 inches, 110x79 cm.
      Nov. 18, 2009

      TOYONOSUKE KUROZUMI (DATES UNKOWN). [THE NORTHERN ALPS.] Circa 1930. 43x31 inches, 110x79 cm.

      Est: $3,000 - $4,000

      TOYONOSUKE KUROZUMI (DATES UNKOWN) [THE NORTHERN ALPS.] Circa 1930. 43 1/2x31 inches, 110x79 cm. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and abrasions in margins and image; staining and minor restored losses in margins. Bisecting Japan's main Island, the Japanese Alps (a volcanic range) are ideal for hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter. This exceptional, stylized modernist image emerges out of the Osaka Art Deco school; it is a sophisticated combination of graphics and typography, and an incredibly rare Japanese Art Deco image. It advertises summer discount travel to the mountains (between July 11th and August 31st) on the Osaka Railway, wonderfully intriguing passengers with the lure of snow in summertime. "If you want mountains then the Northern Alps are the place--all routes have discount locomotive service."
