Volume 8 - Takehisa Yumeji - 竹久夢二

Volume 8 of the collected Takehisa Yumeji publications — "竹久夢二" — is represented in this print, likely as a cover design or frontispiece from one of the many volumes that made Yumeji's work available to the broad Taisho reading public. Yumeji's career was inseparable from the publishing industry of his time: his most enduring impact was not through individual artworks but through the mass distribution of his images in books, magazines, and illustrated publications that reached readers throughout Japan and shaped the visual culture of the era.
