Format: Dai oban yoko-e: 11" x 16" approx
Subject: Three girls enjoying the Cherry blossoms at Arashiyama.
Miki Suizan designed bijin-ga prints whose style shows the influence of ukiyo-e portraiture. Born in Hyogo in 1887, he became a pupil of the well known artist Takeuchi Seiho in 1903. Ten years later, he showed nihon-ga paintings in the 7th Bunten of 1913. Around 1924, Miki worked with the Kyoto publisher Sato Shotaro on the design of six bijin-ga and eight landscape prints, carved by Maeda and printed by Oiwa in limited editions of 200. They were likely reprinted in a later unnumbered edition. Suizan's prints were exhibited the following year along with prints by Yoshikawa Kanpo, also published by Sato Shotaro. Prints by both artists were included in the 1930 Toledo exhibition.
