Spring Blossoms, c,1890
Woodblock Print
8.25 x 7.25
in
Description: A box of plum blossoms with elaborate wrappings, and a vase decorated in a blue and copper design make this a delicately appealing surimono.During the 1890s, publishers reprinted some of the most popular designs by famous artists like Hokkei, Gakutei, Hokusai and others. In keeping with the surimono tradition, the Meiji printings were equally exquisite, printed with the finest inks and embellished with embossing, lacquered pigments, and other design features. In some cases, the original Edo era prints no longer exist, making the Meiji reprints the only record of these subjects.
