  Different print impression (probably not by the same woodblock?), but both are beatiful!

    Definitely. The print information says it's printed at least 50 years later than the original.

  That's the cool part about woodblock printing, you can use different palettes to make multiple editions of the same print. You have to reset the gradients on each pass, in either case.

I opened this and thought hoooooooold on, I know that; I have a framed A2 print of it on the wall to my left. One of my favourite parts of my trip to Japan (only been once so far), the tide was out at the time so I stood under that Torii gate and have a few photos of it of my own that I use as wallpapers.

In a "that's so recent" or a "that's so old" kind of way?

1930s is the tail end of Shin Hanga: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin-hanga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin-hanga

  Shin-hanga is one of my favourite art movements, it was the confluence of traditional Japanese woodblock carving and contemporary Western painting. Unlike the latter, you can actually buy authentic prints for a reasonable price, given that the medium of print blocks was made for mass-production (though on a much smaller scale than modern printing).
