Dressing a Beauty - Charming scene of a beauty helping her companion to put on an outer robe. The beauty at right wears a white kimono with an embossed diamond pattern. The screen at left depicts a lion. The first time we've seen this lovely design.
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.
