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.

Tomimoto Toyohina - Lovely portrait of the beauty Tomimoto Toyohina holding a folding fan. She tugs at the collar of her white under robe as she looks ahead, a white cloth pinned protectively around her elegant hairstyle. She wears a sheer, striped black outer kimono over a red robe with a cherry blossoms design, the rosy color faintly visible through the gauzy fabric. The picture puzzle in the upper right inset sounds like the beauty's name. An attractive design with a deeply embossed geometric pattern in the white collar and embossing on the folding fan.
