Dear Ross Walker,
Thank you very much for your email.
I have just finished a late printing of Hirano Hakuhou and put it on my
website.
I am very sorry that I could find only one set of woodblocks of Hakuhou
design.
So this is the only one Bijinga late printing now, but a reproduction of
Takehisa Yumeji<"Spring"(351x237cm) @30,000yen>.Please see attached image.
Sincerely, |

| Artist Bio: |
Takehisa Yumeji (1884-1934) was a leading figure in the Taisho Romanticism movement that combined Western romanticism with native Japanese styles during the Taisho Period (1912-1926). He was a painter, writer, poet, bookbinder and illustrator whose drawings of women with thin bodies and large eyes filled with melancholy were known as Yumeji Bijin-ga. During the height of his popularity he was called the “modern Utamaro” and the Japanese “Toulouse-Lautrec and Edvard Munch”. His prints epitomized the relationship between popular art and the woodblock.
