Japanese woodblock print, also known as ukiyo-e, created by Kiyochika Kobayashi. Titled Shoo and Manji Era, from the series Hana moyo (Patterns of beauties). This diptych features two sheets presenting the image of a woman dressed in a detailed kimono adorned with classical patterns, a distinctive hairstyle, and holding a fan. Typical of the ukiyo-e genre, this print captures an evocative moment in everyday life, reflecting Kobayashi's focus on beauty and cultural narratives. The print measures 19 inches high by 15 inches wide when the two sheets are combined. Known for his contributions to the ukiyo-e tradition, Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847-1915) is celebrated for his innovative approach to design and composition, departing from the traditional style to incorporate Western perspectives and shading techniques.
