Oversized Japanese limited edition sosaku hanga woodblock print by Tadashi Nakayama (b. 1927) titled “Afternoon in Blue.” The print was executed in bold colors with gold and silver highlights set against a brilliant blue background. This vertical image is pencil-signed “T. Nakayama,” numbered 44/85, and dated 1982 in the bottom margin. The red Nakayama seal is on the back. Paper size: 42" x 27 7/8” (image: 35 3/8" x 23”). Very good clean overall condition with excellent color and large margins. There is a narrow strip of white tape (appears archival) across the top of the back margin and there are three soft crinkles in the paper along one margin edge. A color illustration of this image can be found on plate 204 of “T. Nakayama” published in 1989.
