This exquisite Japanese woodblock print surimono by Yashima Gakutei depicts Hotei, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, from the series 'Mitate Shichifukujin no uchi' (The Seven Gods of Good Fortune). Created in the 1890s during the Meiji era, this print measures 11 1/4 x 12 3/4 inches and exhibits significant overall toning and yellowing of the paper. The print retains full, untrimmed margins, and features an inscription in the lower margin noting 'by Gakutei'. The back of the print shows uniform age-related yellowing, highlighting its vintage character while remaining a desirable piece for collectors of this elegant genre. Yashima Gakutei (c. 1786–1868) was well-regarded for his mastery of surimono, which are known for luxurious production and intricate designs, often incorporating poetry. This piece exemplifies his refined elegance and attention to detail.
