Description:
Still life of bonito, lobster, sea bream, abalone and crams depicted in "uchiwa" (round fan) format. The stamp on the lower left indicates this is a part of a publisher's print samples which was distributed to the various dealers and outlets. These well made sample prints were rare outside of Japan because they were never exported.
