Description

A representative woodblock print by Kamoshita Choko, an artist who worked in the oban format producing bijin-ga and scenic compositions during the early to mid-twentieth century. Choko's prints reflect a sensibility shaped by both traditional ukiyo-e conventions and the newer shin hanga movement, which combined artist, carver, and printer in a collaborative production model. This cataloged work, listed under the artist's name, serves as an entry point to Choko's broader output of figure studies and seasonal scenes, each printed from hand-carved blocks with layered watercolor pigments.
