Hello Theodora! Thank you for choosing Mearto. This is a Kitagawa Utamaro woodblock print, originally in Edo era, but this is a re-carved edition made probably in the early 20th century. Utamaro, in full Kitagawa Utamaro, original name Kitagawa Nebsuyoshi, (born 1753, Japan—died Oct. 31, 1806, Edo, Japan—d.), Japanese printmaker and painter who was one of the greatest artists of the ukiyo-e (“pictures of the floating world”) movement; he is known especially for his masterfully composed portraits of sensuous female beauties. Good condition.
