Japanese woodcut fan albums, late 19th century-early 20th century
Creator/Contributor:
Online Archive of California
Abstract:
Two fan albums featuring 28 separate Meiji/Taisho era Japanese artists, as well as eight Hiroshige reprints. Fan albums, created
as marketing tools, were a compilation of a season's available designs, commissioned by some of the most eminent artists of
the day. Once the season was over, these very-limited production sample books were sold. Few have survived.
