View AllBeauty Enjoying Summer Fireworks
By Ito Shinsui
Located in Burbank, CA
Title: Fireworks 花火
Series: The Second Collection of Modern Beauties (Gendai bijin shū dai nishū 現代美人集第二輯)
Date: 1932
A young woman is shown enjoying the summer fireworks, her face shown in profile as she looks towards the display. She holds a summer fan on her lap, and her kimono features large blue stripes and is tied with a colorful obi that features a morning glory pattern. The summer evening sky is a soft grey rather than a deep black, perhaps reflecting the brightness of the fireworks. Numbered verso, from a limited edition of 250 prints.
Condition: Excellent impression, color and condition.
Publisher: Watanabe Shôzaburô
