Some Additional Vintage Stuff to the Vintage Spot

While this is the second post on The Vintage Spot, I decided to add an extra category: Vintage Japanese Fine Print pre-1915, which are woodblock drawings. Here are a few of these wonderful art pieces:

Pine Beach at Miho in Suruga (1858)
View of Mount Fuji featuring a pine grove on a promontory in the Suruga Bay along with sailboats. 

Mount Kano in Kazusa Province (1858)
View of Mount Fuji across Yedo Bay seen from Rokusozan, Kazusa, along with a mural landscape including a large evergreen tree, cherry blossoms, a torii, people and a horse in the foreground.

Sea at Satta Suruga Province (1858)
Mount Fuji from Satta Point in the Suruga Bay, with waves in the foreground.

I have plenty more of these Japanese Fine Prints that I will be posting along with the vintage theatrical posters in the very near future. I am in the process of building an online store where these wonderful pieces can be purchased. I will post the online shop as soon as possible.
