Various

This [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock print bears the generic title Various, suggesting it may be part of a multi-image lot, a sampler sheet, or a catalog entry that has lost its specific identification. Kamei Tobei's body of work encompasses a range of Kyoto subjects, and without more specific title information, this print joins the category of [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) works that must be identified through visual examination rather than textual documentation. The oban format and woodblock medium are standard for Kamei's output, and the print almost certainly belongs to his core practice of Kyoto landscape and architectural subjects. The generic title, while an obstacle to precise identification, does not affect the print's artistic or material qualities, which remain fully present regardless of how the image is labeled in collection records.
