Description
This album, consisting of twelve prints from the satirical series "Pictures of the Presentation of the Grand Potato," belongs to the irreverent illustrated-book tradition that Kiyochika practised alongside his serious landscape and war work throughout the 1880s and 1890s. The title — a comic inversion of formal presentation ceremony imagery — signals the series' satirical intent. Published during the 1890s when Kiyochika's Nippon Banzai! series was at its height, the album reflects the breadth of his involvement in Meiji popular print culture.
