Description

Presenting a remarkable collection of six Meiji-era reproduction prints after the renowned ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro. These prints, part of the series *Seirō Ehon Nenjū Gyōji* (Picture Book of Annual Events in the Green Houses), capture the essence of the Yoshiwara pleasure district, illustrating scenes that are both culturally significant and visually captivating. Each print measures 6 x 9 inches, mounted in pairs on three backing boards, consistent with traditional *ehon* format. Although the prints show age-related toning and some color fading, they remain well-preserved and free from any significant damage. This collection not only highlights Utamaro's artistry but also represents an important piece of Japanese art history from the Meiji period.
