(Bamboo blind) c. 1818 - 1829

The artist was known for his work in the *surimono* style, characterized by its elegant composition, intricate details, and often delicate colors. The print, like many others of the period, has calligraphy alongside the central image which likely adds further meaning to the work. This *surimono* print displays the meticulous techniques and aesthetic of Japanese printmaking.
