A Special 1938 Takamizawa Group - Founded in 1911, the Takamizawa Publisher of Tokyo has published some of the finest reprints of classic ukiyo-e designs. Drawing on the traditions and methods of the Edo era, the company produced reprints with the utmost care and great attention to detail, masterfully reproducing color, line work and even wood grain detail. Published in 1938, this handsome reprint group features designs by master artists such as Utamaro, Kiyonaga, Eishi, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Sharaku, and others. Each features a Takamizawa publisher seal on the  reverse. A great opportunity to acquire a high quality reprint of a famous Edo era subject.

Combing the Hair - Fantastic Utamaro print of a young beauty after a bath. Her casual cotton kimono falls away from her shoulders as she combs her long, lustrous hair after washing it. Excellent soft color and fine detail in the hairline. Would make a lovely display. A fine Takamizawa reprint with publisher's seal on reverse.
