Beschreibung:
No existing original Original surimono were often commissioned by poetry circles and privately published. Surimono represent the peak in Japanese woodblock printing techniques. Their costly production resulted in very limited editions of a handful of impressions of each design only. Most copies of surimono were published at the end of the ninetenth or the beginning of the twentieth-century. The majority of then were based on surimono in the square format that had been published in the city of Edo (modern Tokyo) in the 1810 and 1820s. The ground-breaking publication of Roger Keyes, THE ART OF THE SURIMONO, provided an effective categorization of these surimono copies. This is a Group C copy, which were printed on sheets of thin (sometimes with a greenish cast). The Group was probably published for foreigners,and copied from Group B copies which were copied from Group A copies which were copied from originals. This print has unusually fine detail for a Copy C print.
