Comments - Attractive Koryusai pillar print of a mother and her baby getting out of a deep wooden bathtub. Her kimono hangs over a rod behind the bath. She cradles the child carefully in her arms as she steps onto a wooden box. A charming design, nicely detailed.

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.
