(Daikon radish) Possibly 1864

This Japanese woodblock print, created by Shunsei around 1864, depicts a large daikon radish with its leaves. The radish, a common vegetable in Japanese cuisine, is depicted in a simple, elegant style, highlighting its form and texture. The artist's signature, written in black ink, appears at the bottom of the print. This work is a prime example of the "surimono" genre of prints, which were often commissioned by wealthy patrons and often featured exquisite depictions of everyday objects or natural scenes.
