Beschreibung:
These prints were produced after the early innovations of artists like Harunobu, who are credited with the invention of full color printing, or nishiki-e (brocade prints). Actor prints were common by the late 18th century, and served as popular advertisements for Kabuki actors. In order to stand out from other prints, the printers sometimes used mica grounds, created by sprinkling mica over a glue base. These prints were conserved in 2005. (displayed with cat. no. 21754 at the Into the Light exhibition 2005)
