From a Meiji collection of reprints, over 100 years old - This print is offered with a small group of reprints collected in the early 20th century (ca. 1920) by a Tokyo collector. The reprints that we are offering this evening were collected nearly 100 years ago and have the beautiful sense of age expected of the period. They are finely printed and well preserved. We have just a few of these lovely old reprints. Available for a small fraction of the cost of an original, they are perfect to frame and display or collect.

Beauty with Hand Mirror - Wonderful reprint of a classic Utamaro motif, a young beauty viewing her image in a hand mirror. She smiles happily as she admires her reflection, tugging at the collar of her striped robe. The reflective mirror surface is treated with silver mica, a nice detail. An attractive portrait with fine line work in the hair. Published by Uchida with publisher's seal in lower left margin.
