This exquisite sōsaku-hanga (creative print) color woodblock print by Hiratsuka Un'ichi showcases a maiko (apprentice geisha) adorned with elaborate hair and ornaments (kanzashi). Measuring approximately 12 x 18 1/4 inches, the print is notable for its detailed depiction and is stamped with the artist's seal in the lower left corner. The print exhibits overall age-related toning, with some minor foxing primarily in the margins, yet it remains in good condition overall without major tears or folds. A unique addition to any collection of Japanese art, this piece illustrates both the beauty of traditional culture and the notable craftsmanship of Hiratsuka Un'ichi. Hiratsuka (1895-1997) was an influential printmaker in the sōsaku-hanga movement, recognized for his direct involvement in all aspects of printmaking and his dedication to teaching. His work is widely collected and celebrated.
