Songs of Enlightenment and Education - Interesting design from a rarely seen Chikanobu series titled "Songs of Enlightenment and Education." Each print features a song in a text panel at the top, with an attractive scene below of women and children involved in various activities such as playing music or games. These attractive images are nicely detailed, with vibrant color and fine bokashi shading in the text panel. A nice addition to a Chikanobu collection.
