This exquisite Japanese woodblock print, 'Six Superior Men of Reiraka,' created between 1820-1830, is a surimono by the talented artist Yashima Gakutei. The piece, measuring 7 x 8 1/4, has noticeable condition issues including soiling, rubbing, thinning, fading, ink smudges, and small voids, reflecting its age yet adding character to this historically significant artwork. Yashima Gakutei was a prominent ukiyo-e artist and poet of the late Edo period, noted for his elegant designs and mastery of the surimono genre, having been a pupil of the esteemed Hokusai.
