Description
In the 1890s publishers took early 19th century surimono designs from artists like Hokusai, Shunman, Gakutei or Hokkei, cut new blocks and printed them in sets of 50 or 100 sets. They were sold to Western tourists in Japan. These prints are very well made. The only difference is the paper, which is not as soft as 1820Â hosho. And like the originals, these prints have all the lavish features like blind printing, valuable gold and silver pigments.For some of these designs the originals do not exist any more, which makes them even more interesting. These Meiji copies are ranked from A to D, A being the best print quality and D the lowest. Mainly A-copies have become accepted collectors' items.
