Comments - Lovely okubi-e or large head portrait of a beauty holding a fan bearing the likeness of a kabuki actor in a role as a samurai. She smiles happily as she looks over her shoulder, showing tiny, even white teeth. her hair is pulled back into a sleek bun adorned with hairpins and softly colored ribbons. A terrific design with a subtle white mica background. A rare subject to find in reprint.

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.
