The Tea Ceremony - These lovely woodblocks are from a series of prints by Toshikata illustrating the Japanese tea ceremony. Beautifully drawn and delicately colored, these tranquil designs capture the harmony and beauty associated with this classic ritual. Prints from this terrific series rarely come on the market. A wonderful choice for display, or for any collector interested in this timeless Japanese ceremony.

Bidding Guests Farewell - After the tea ceremony is over, the host kneels at the entrance to the tea house, bidding her guests farewell. A woman in the courtyard bows respectfully as two other beauties wait outside, one wearing a short black coat. Wonderful fine detail in the architectural setting.
