Original old-style woodblock print, only one of its kind in the world.
As its name suggests, this is a woodblock print that has transcended time. Although it has survived various natural disasters, it was left in an extremely bad state. Only the most refined restoration arts could repair it to its original condition. Seihachi Takenaka, who undertook this project, is the industry leader when it comes to old-restorations such as the "Jyaku Myou", and using the finest quality colors in the world.
This old-fashioned woodblock print utilizes the theme of "Oeyama Kijin Taiji no Zu" (Demon Hunter) from the "Late Edo Period - Meiji Period".
This is a Kamigata Ukiyoe, made by Sadanobu Hasegawa II.
