Colofon Possibly 1909

"Colofon" by Kamisaka Sekka, possibly from 1909, is a colophon, or a page of text containing information about the artwork, including the title, artist's name, date of creation and publisher. The text in this example is written in Japanese, and the colophon has a traditional design, which suggests that this artwork is a woodblock print. The image is a simple composition of a white background with the Japanese characters in black ink. This example of a colophon is part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
