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.

Comments - Beautiful image of a young beauty adjusting her hair as she looks into a large oval mirror, her face seen only in the reflection of the mirror as faces away from the viewer. An interesting view that includes the back of her ornately styled hair, a viewpoint rarely seen. Beautifully detailed with shimmering mica applied to the mirror surface. A lovely Utamaro design and an artist's masterwork. Please note: this print does not have the rectangular Goyo seal in the margin.
