This print was created by Ito Shinsui (1898-1972) the great artist of shin-hanga.. Shinsui was born with the name of Ito Hajime to a middle-class Tokyo family. At the age of ten, young Hajime found employment at the Tokyo Printing Company where he began to show serious interest and talent in Nihonga, Japanese-style painting. In 1911 he was introduced to Kaburagi Kiyokata, the renowned painter, and became Kiyokata's student. It was Kiyokata that gave Hajime his artist's name, Shinsui. When Shinsui was eighteen years old, his paintings were seen by the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo at an exhibition at Kiyokata's art school. Shinsui continued to work with Watanabe from 1916 to 1960, designing bijin-ga and landscape prints. He also worked with the publishers Isetatsu, the Yomiuri Newspaper Company, and Katsumura.
