Takasawa Keiichi

A print from the 1970s bearing the artist's name as its title likely represents a frontispiece or dedication print — a work designed to accompany a publication, exhibition, or collector's album, where the artist's signature and a representative image served as a kind of artistic declaration. In Takasawa's case, such a print would typically feature one of his characteristic bijin figures, the image standing as a summation of his identity as a maker.
