Description

This print is a faithful reproduction of Koson's original work.

By the current top skilled craftsmen like dream team production in the year 2020.
The print is reprinted from newly carved woodblocks.

Reproduce the expression that utilizes the wood grain that is the charm of Koson's work
and the expression of the color that is rubbed into the Washi paper.

Therefore, the Lotus leaves and the grain of the background are characteristic,
and was looked for a woodblock that was close to that grain.

The normal Ukiyo-E are usually completed in less than 10 times rubbing process,
but this print was completed in more than 50 times rubbing process by Master Numabe
who is the top Surishi(printer) in Japan.

It is a valuable sheet that we would like you to get if you are a woodblock print fan
who understands its value.
