夏の子供遊び

by Yamamoto Shoun

Date:
c. 1906
Medium:
Color woodblock print

Typical Price

A lively summer scene of children at play captures the energy and freedom of the season. This Kodomo Asobi entry is among Shoun's most spirited compositions. Published by Matsuki Heikichi in 1906, pre-earthquake editions are increasingly scarce and sell for $1,500-$3,000. Posthumous reprints, while less valuable at $400-$1,000, retain the design's charm.

Description

Children splashing and playing by a stream on a hot summer day, full of joy and energy.
