Kajita Hankichi a Meiji-era 'kuchi-e' Colour woodcut, c.1890

This is a typical representative of a 'kuchi-e', a print given away as a 'freebie' stuck inside the front of a magazine of the Meiji era. A freebie it might be, but the level of carving and printing skill used in its production is nothing short of breathtaking... (c)
