This is a Jpanese woodblock print published by the Uchida company in the post war period. There is a signature on the print, but I'm not sure who the artist is. It is too large for my scanner, so what you see above is taken from a photo - the partial scan below shows a more accurate image of the colours.
This print shows three girls playing a traditional Japanese New Year game.
There are some colourful details in the kimono.
The print measures 42 by 29 cm. |
