A work by Urushibara, known to collectors on both sides of the world through his prolific output of color woodblock prints created in London. Urushibara's prints occupy a fascinating cultural position: they are made using purely Japanese materials and methods—cherry woodblocks, water-based pigments, [baren](/glossary/baren) hand-printing on dampened paper—yet they often depict European subjects ranging from London landmarks to English garden flowers. This cross-cultural fusion gave his work broad appeal, satisfying Japanese standards of craft excellence while offering Western collectors something both familiar in subject and exotic in technique.
