This exquisite woodblock print by Yashima Gakutei features a courtesan depicted as Gama, drawn from the series 'Courtesans Viewed as the Immortals of Ressenden' (Gokei nanasen) and produced in the 1820s. Gakutei, a notable pupil of Hokusai, specialized in *surimono*, which were luxurious, privately commissioned prints often incorporating poetry. This piece showcases significant fading, soiling, and rubbing, reflective of its age, along with overall paper toning. Despite its condition issues, it remains a collectible example of Gakutei's technical mastery and elegance, capturing the intricate designs characteristic of *surimono* artwork. Dimensions: 7 x 8 1/4.
