Description

Harunobu's success in woodblock prints came toward the end of his career. He is credited with the sue of full-color "brocade" or nishiki-e print in 1765. These prints were issued as calendars or special occasion prints. They combine verses of amateur poets and the artistic art work in a beautiful combination seldom seen before and after.
