Yuyudo Publisher - In the early 20th century, the Yuyudo publishing house had already distinguished themselves as one of the finest publishers in Japan. They adhered to the same exacting standards of 19th century publishers while some of their publishing colleagues took shortcuts. In the 1950's, as interest Edo era woodblock prints was reigniting, Yuyudo embarked upon a project to produce reprints by the great masters from the Golden Age of Ukiyo-e. They hired the finest woodblock printers and carvers in the world for this endeavor. The resulting prints were some of the highest quality reproductions ever made. We are pleased to offer this beautiful reprint from the Yuyudo publisher in our auctions today.  Yuyudo prints are exceptionally well done and very finely printed.

Kanda Miyojin Shrine - Charming portrait of a beauty carrying an umbrella on a windy day, the breeze ruffling her robes as she walks. She wears a dotted orange kimono bordered with tiny leaves over a red under robe, tied with a checked obi . She looks up over her shoulder, a roll of tissues tucked into her kimono front. A small magnifying glass at upper left depicts a picnic lunch for Kanda Myojin Shrine. A classic Edo era beauty design, nicely detailed with delicate embossing in the white kimono collar.
