Publisher - Adachi from a rare series of Edo masterwork designs. Adachi publisher seal in margin or on reverse.

Adachi was one of the most respected publishers of the 20th century. Their woodblocks were printed to the highest standards with excellent color and fine detail. Founded in 1925, Adachi also chose interesting and varied subjects for their prints and was the only publisher of many famous old ukiyo-e images.

Comments - Lovely Toyonobu print of a young beauty tying a poem slip to a branch of a blossoming cherry tree. A tent wall featuring a pattern of a mon or family crest is strung from the tree, the edge of a mat just visible below the right edge. A charming design from the early years of color woodblocks. Nice large format reprint, great for display.
