Surimono: 'Printed thing', popular from the 1790s onwards.
Surimono were privately commissioned Woodblock prints marking special occasions,
often by poetry societies to illustrate the winning poem in a competition;
also by Kabuki actors to commemorate important events in their careers,
such as changes of name and stage debuts of their sons.
Their production was more experimental and lavish than the average woodcut print.

An excellent old art reproduction of a Japanese Woodblock Print.

A separate high-quality lithographic plate that has never been framed.
Tipped by one edge to a heavier backing sheet (which has an embossed plate no.).

Printing date: 1958
