Description:
Japanese woodblock print, by 20th century printmaker Iku Nagai. About 19 x 14” image size, plus full margins. I got this print as one of a portfolio of prints from the publisher Kyoto Hanga-in; the portfolio was published in 1964, in conjunction with the Tokyo Olympics, and included some real rarities. This is one of the "special prints" referred to in the publisher's catalog, with a beautiful silver mica background, and virtually double size of their standard oban prints.
