SHOTEI ( TAKAHASHI ) HIROAKI lived from 1871 to 1945. He used a vairety of names to sign his prints during his career and from 1907 until 1922 called himself mostly Shotei although some of his very early scenes were signed Kakei. From this time he also signed himself Hiroaki and Komei. At the age of 52 years the fires created by the Great Earthquake of the time destroyed his life's work totaling 500 Woodblocks used in the printing of his art. He began again, painstakingly recreating some of his best works for Watanabe and most of these were shown in the historic Watanabe catalogue of 1936. His most of his focus after this time was landscape scenes until he was lost in the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. #P2187 PEDDLER ON A SNOWY NIGHT KAKEI SIGNATURE AND HIROAKI SEAL PROVE A VERY RARE PRE-EARTHQUAKE PRINTING Pre 1924 AMAZING CONDITION FOR AGE Kakei signature with a Hiroaki Red Seal below in the bottom right of scene.
