Gold Beetle and Frogs. Series Ehon mushi erami (The Insect Book). Technique: Japanese woodblock print. 38 × 26.5 cm (14.96 × 10.43 inches). Description: This is a later edition, traditionally hand-printed from re-carved woodblocks. It is not an original Edo-period print, but an authentic hand-printed woodblock print, produced using traditional Ukiyo-e techniques on Japanese washi paper. The visible pigment bleed-through on the reverse is a natural result of traditional hand-printing and a characteristic of authentic woodblock prints. We sell only authentic traditional Japanese hand-printed woodblock prints, including later re-carved or later edition works. We do not handle modern machine-made prints, offset prints, or modern printed copies of any kind. All prints in our store are genuine te-zuri (hand-printed) woodblock prints, carefully hand-printed by skilled Japanese artisans using traditional Ukiyo-e techniques on authentic Japanese washi paper. The visible pigment bleed-through on the reverse side is a natural characteristic of hand printing and a clear sign that this is not a reproduction or machine-made print. Please refer to the photos for the item’s condition. We strive to photograph and describe the condition as accurately as possible. However, perceptions of condition may vary depending on individual standards.
