In addition, we will have a spectacular array of Japanese prints ranging from 1750-1950. Of particular interest are a large group of first state Hiroshige prints from the series “100 Views of Edo,” several very fine Utamaro prints, a collection of Yokohama prints and some really great Kuniyoshi and Yoshitoshi prints. We have the finest selection of Japanese prints for sale in the US, Europe, and, I would even venture to say, Japan.
