Description
A woodblock print associated with a "various artists" grouping, indicating it appeared in a multi-artist collection, portfolio, or exhibition catalog. During the shin-hanga era, publishers occasionally issued themed sets featuring designs by multiple artists, and auction houses frequently lotted prints by lesser-known artists together. Nakazawa's inclusion in such groupings reflects both the collaborative nature of the shin-hanga publishing world and the commercial realities of the print market, where works by artists outside the top tier were often sold as part of curated lots. The print itself would show the technical quality and aesthetic refinement typical of publisher-supervised shin-hanga production regardless of its grouped presentation.
