Januari 1907 Possibly 1907

"Januari 1907" is a woodblock print by Mitsutani Kunishiro, created sometime around 1907. This artwork depicts a simple yet striking scene of white narcissus flowers against a backdrop of green foliage. The flat, stylized forms and bold colors are characteristic of the shin-hanga style of Japanese woodblock printing, which emerged in the early 20th century. The inscription at the bottom, "The Lady's Graphic, January 1st 1907," suggests that this print might be a cover illustration for a magazine. This piece showcases Kunishiro’s mastery of the woodblock print, blending stylized representation with an evocative sense of nature.
