This exquisite surimono by Yashima Gakutei depicts a woman as a male Hina doll. The print exhibits significant overall age-related toning, giving the paper a yellowish-brown cast. The colors are noticeably faded, with evidence of rubbing on the surface. Stains and foxing marks are present, particularly visible on the reverse side, while some minor spotting occurs on the front. The edges and corners show minor wear but are free of major tears or losses. Yashima Gakutei (八島 岳亭) (active c. 1815–1852) was a renowned Japanese artist and poet known for his ukiyo-e style work. A pupil of Totoya Hokkei and influenced by Hokusai, Gakutei is celebrated for his surimono, deluxe prints created for special occasions, often incorporating poetry into his designs.
