Matsuno Hideyo – 松野秀世 – (1936-2002) – Hagoromo – 羽衣

SOLD. THANK-YOU!

Hagoromo is one of the most popular Noh plays in Japan. This is one of our favorite pieces by Matsuno-san. He was his father’s (Matsuno Sofu) best student. Born in Tokyo in 1936 he graduated from Tokyo Gakugei Nihon Gakuin in 1960 and won first prize at the Japan Art Institute exhibition that same year. While active at the Japan Fine Arts Institute, he painted the backdrops at the Kanze Noh theater in Tokyo and a series of wall paintings at Itsukushima Shinto shrine. His pieces are commonly found outside of Japan.

This hand-printed limited edition was carved by Nagashima Michio and printed by Shinmi Saburo. Excellent condition.

SOLD. THANK-YOU!
