Another iconic Japanese shin-hanga woodblock print by Takahashi Shotei. Inscribed and stamped with post-earthquake ‘Shōtei’ red seal on the right. Very good impression with skilfully executed toning. Nicely framed and glazed in its original frame showing some signs of age. Print, frame and glass were taken apart and professionally cleaned to remove dust accumulated inside.
