December 1906 Possibly 1906 - 1912

"December 1906" is a woodblock print created by Japanese artist Asai Chû between 1906 and 1912. The piece depicts a horse, possibly a mythical creature, with a flame-like object above it, suggesting an element of spirituality. Below this, a line of smaller animals are drawn, highlighting the use of pattern in the print. Asai Chû was active in the early 20th century, during a time of cultural change in Japan, and his work reflects a fascinating blend of traditional woodblock print techniques and a modern sensibility. "December 1906" is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and offers a glimpse into the artistic expressions of that era.
