| Monozukushi-e print by unknown artist c1912 | |||||||
This print is said to be from the Meiji era and I have therefore temporarily dated it to 1912, the last year of that era. Please let me know if you can help to date it more exactly. Thank you. A monozukushi-e print is a type of omocha-e print which shows a variety of images of one particular category of object, eg leaves or fish, or, in this case, paperfolds. The print contains 39 images of which 3 are Paper Cranes, and one, the purse in the centre, is possibly not a paperfold at all. Some of the designs remain unidentified. I do not know what the characters in the bottom left corner say. **********
