Description: Part of the distinguished Edo Masters Series, this print originates from Ukiyo-e Hanga Meisakushu (Masterpieces of Ukiyo-e Woodblock Prints), published by Shueisha in 1963 (Showa 38). Conceived as a deluxe scholarly reproduction portfolio, the series was supervised by leading ukiyo-e authorities Kiyoshi Shibui and Sadao Kikuchi, ensuring academic integrity rather than commercial souvenir production. Each work was reproduced using advanced multi-color offset techniques of the period (approximately 15 colors), with additional processes applied to evoke the tactile quality of Edo-period  washi  paper and the subtle patina associated with historical originals. Every sheet is preserved in its original  tato  protective sleeve with a glassine paper insert. Artist: Torii Kiyonaga (1752–1815) This particular work represents the refined aesthetic of Torii Kiyonaga, one of the leading ukiyo-e masters of the late Edo period. Active during the Tenmei era, Kiyonaga became renowned for his elegant bijin-ga and his balanced, spacious compositions. His mastery lies in the elongated proportions of his figures, harmonious group arrangements, and the confident use of line and color. Unlike earlier stylizations, Kiyonaga’s women appear poised and natural, set within carefully constructed architectural or landscape settings—qualities that established his enduring reputation in the history of Japanese woodblock prints. Condition: Excellent vintage condition for a 1963 print with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor wear consistent with age.  Specifics:  There is a minor foxing stain (approx. 2mm) near the top right area of the print. Please refer to the photos for a detailed view of this mark.
