Very good impression, colour and condition.
A shoal of Ayu swimming under a water current by Okuhara Seiko, and printed by Matsumoto, circa 1910. A beautiful, delicate design. Seiko was a leading artist and painter during the Meiji period. Working within a field dominated by male literati, she changed her name from Setsuko to the more gender neutral Seiko. There are a small number of known or surviving prints by her, mostly depicting birds in the shikishiban format, and a few landscapes. Publishing details au verso, Matsumoto Print, no.426. Red Seiko gourd seal.
