[Untitled surimono] 

Kōsai [Utagawa, Yoshimori] [illustrated by].

[Japan: privately published], Meiji 2 [1869].

A haikai surimono featuring an illustration of a shishimai lion dancer and three musicians by Utagawa Yoshimori (1830-1885), a pupil of Kuniyoshi. The texture of the brush strokes from Yoshimori's original illustration has been masterfully reproduced in the image by the block cutter (possibly with a sabibori technique) and printer.

Single leaf, woodblock-printed on one side, complete. Folds, creases, browning, wear, and a few small wormholes. Small tear to one fold. 39 x 52.2 cm.
