Publisher - Adachi from a rare series of Edo masterwork designs. Adachi publisher seal in margin or on reverse.

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.

Comments - Fantastic reprint of a classic Harunobu design depicting a young woman as monkey trainer. She plays on a drum, leading a monkey dressed in a sanbaso dancer's costume, set against a swirling marbled gray and white background. A terrific image with striking graphic appeal.
