Comments - Lovely Harunobu design of a young beauty after a bath, her kimono wrapped loosely about her as she dries her neck with the sleeve. The verandah is open to the spring breezes, and delicate flowers bloom on the shrub outside the window. A charming reprint of this classic beauty image.

Woodblock reprints - In the 20th century, artists and publishers collaborated to recreate famous woodblock prints for interested Japanese collectors and Westerners looking for rare designs. New blocks were made, and the prints were painstakingly printed by artisan printers in the same method as the 19th century originals - one block for each color. Woodblock reprints were an opportunity to collect and enjoy a famous design at a small fraction of the price of an original. They still are today.
