Catalog note / 解説

Courtesan Takigawa from Ogiya in "Seiro Bisen Awase" by Hosoda Eishi... This is one of the "fake" prints produced by the infamous masters such as Takamisawa, Kaneko and Kobayashi Bunshichi. These prints had been given artificial patina and worn-out conditions to simulate their proposed age. Although this print was cleverly done, it is rather obvious that it was "faked". The "Real-Fake" prints were produced with even more care for selecting colors and papers to give better period feeling.
