art print : hitoridachi onna no zu kiyonobu

Woman with comb, attributed to Shobei, depicts a woman in a sumptuously decorated costume. The figures depicted within the kimono pattern are an added charm to this  striking monochrome image. 

This print is part of a collection celebrating some of the most significant works in ukiyo-e (wood block prints and paintings of the 'floating world') history. To bring these masterpieces within reach, publisher Shueisha meticulously reproduced these rare works from original first impressions held in prestigious collections worldwide.

Supervised by a team of art historians, each piece is printed on authentic ukiyo-e washi paper using a polychrome offset lithographic process.
