About Doi Sadaichi
Doi Sadaichi (also known as Doi Teiichi) was a Tokyo-based shin-hanga publisher active from the 1920s through the 1940s. He is best known as the primary publisher of Tsuchiya Koitsu, whose atmospheric night scenes and nostalgic landscapes of old Japan became some of the most beloved images of the shin-hanga movement. Doi also published works by other artists including Kawase Hasui and Shotei Takahashi.
While smaller in scale than the Watanabe publishing house, Doi Sadaichi maintained high standards of carving and printing craftsmanship. His publications are characterized by careful attention to atmospheric effects, particularly in night scenes where subtle gradations of color create evocative moonlit and lantern-lit compositions. Doi's seal typically appears on the margin of prints he published.
