Elevate your collection with this exquisite Hatsu yuki (First Snow) woodblock print. This piece captures a classic bijin-ga scene: a woman elegantly navigating a snowfall under a traditional blue umbrella. Key Artistic Features: Karazuri (Blind Printing): This print features masterful karazuri in the foreground, where the snow is embossed into the paper for a subtle, tactile texture. Mutsuki Seal: The oval seal in the lower-left corner reads Mutsuki, representing the first lunar month, rather than an artist’s signature-a unique characteristic of this rare series. Condition Note: excellent condition, there are 2 light scratches in the umbrella and very faded crease visible on the reverse.
