Adachi Limited Edition Beauties - In 1967, the venerable Adachi Publisher of Tokyo released a limited edition series of 25 classic ukiyo-e beauty subjects. These beautiful reprints feature masterworks by Utamaro, Kiyonaga, Eisho, and others, including some subjects seldom seen in reprint. Printed with fine line work and attractive color, some designs feature deluxe treatments such as embossing or shimmering mica. Limited to 500 sets, each print is numbered on the reverse with a special Adachi publisher's seal. A wonderful opportunity to collect a lovely bijin reprint from a great limited edition release.

Comments - Charming Eisho portrait of the beauty Shiratsuyu of the Wakanaya Teahouse holding a small glass bowl with a goldfish in it. She smiles happily as she looks ahead, dressed in layers of patterned kimono. Her hair is pulled back into a large bun, adorned with many hairpins, a comb, and a red ribbon. The background features a repeated motif of rabbits. Lovely soft color and fine line work in the hairstyle. A beautiful design.
