Comments - Charming portrait of a beauty emerging from beneath the mosquito netting, a slightly worried expression on her face. She wears a kimono patterned with stripes shaded from green to warm gold, her robe loosely wrapped about her. A lovely design, rarely seen in reprint.
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.
