Yamamoto Shoun - Yamamoto Shoun studied Kano school and nanga painting, and also worked as an illustrator in Tokyo for a magazine about popular sights in the city. He is perhaps best known for his lovely woodblock portraits of women published by Matsuki Heikichi (Daikokuya). His work bridges the traditional ukiyo-e and shin-hanga movements in Japanese art. His prints are rarely seen on the market and are highly sought after by collectors. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire a classic Shoun beauty image from this transitional period.

Bill's $39 Selection Auctions - Fuji Arts’ low opening auctions are extremely popular and a great place to find a bargain. I’ve personally selected 160 high quality prints and we’re starting them at $39. Any high bid wins! We’ll post all 160 prints over four days. I looked for a good mix, rare and unusual, and in popular categories. Good luck bidding on my September selection!
