Surimono represent the peak in Japanese woodblock printing techniques. Their costly production resulted in very limited editions of a handful of impressions of each design only. So it doesn't come as a surprise that Akashi copies and those by other Meiji period publishers have become collectors' items over the last decades, - not only because of the sheer rarity of the original prints, but mainly because of the often elaborate printing, incorporating special effects like, a.o., blind printing, paper embossing or the application of metallic, gold and silver color elements, which are the characteristics of high-quality surimono. - The artists of the following surimono comprise copies of masterpieces by Hokusai, Hokkei, Kuninao, Shumman, Shinsai, Toyohiro, a.o. Size: shikishiban (around 20 x 18 cms, each) *** Date each: c. 1890s.
