Adachi was one of the most respected publishers of the 20th century. Their woodblocks were printed to the highest standards with excellent color and fine detail. Founded in 1925, Adachi also chose interesting and varied subjects for their prints and was the only publisher of many famous old ukiyo-e images.

Beauty with a Toy and Young Girl - Attractive portrait of a beauty holding a toy figure in her hand. The young girl at her side looks up with a pleading expression, clasping her hands together as she eyes the doll.

A charming image from the early years of black and white prints.
