About the Item
A fine antique Taisho period Japanese woodblock print.
Depicting a swooping heron above a riverbed with a thin sliver of a crescent moon in the background.
By Seikо̄. Seikо̄ is thought to have created tanzaku sized (ca. 5x17 in) woodblock prints for export sale around the time of the Taisho period (1912-1926). There are tentative titles for some of their works, but any further details of the artist’s life are unclear.
