Richard Kruml
Description
A print bearing the name Richard Kruml — almost certainly a Western collector or dealer active in the Japanese print market of the Meiji and Taisho periods — suggesting this work has provenance associated with early Western collectors who played a crucial role in preserving and distributing Japanese prints in Europe and America. Western interest in Japanese art, intensified by the Japonisme movement of the late nineteenth century, created an export market that both sustained artists like Kyosai and complicated their reception in Japan.
