This seasonal bijin-ga places a woman amid autumn scenery, a classic pairing in Japanese art. Shoun bridges the gap between traditional ukiyo-e and modern shin-hanga, and his early 1900s "Fashions of Today" prints reflect that transitional style. Pre-earthquake editions range from $1,000-$2,200, with later reprints at $400-$900.
Description
A woman in autumn kimono standing among falling maple leaves, a study in seasonal elegance.
