Description
This 1930 print bearing the notation "Watanabe Ikuharu" references the publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō's studio and its succession, pointing to the commercial and artistic infrastructure within which Kobayakawa's shin-hanga prints were produced. All of Kobayakawa's major bijin-ga were published by Watanabe, the leading publisher of the shin-hanga movement, and this work may document a particular publication or print within that long collaboration. The Watanabe studio's rigorous quality standards shaped the technical excellence evident throughout Kobayakawa's output.
