What exactly, are we looking at? A Japanese paper screen, with a shadow ... ?? Well yes ... but ... let's look closer! Here is the print, on its mounting board. When we look a bit closer, we see that there is something hidden ... Aha! The paper is actually printed on both sides - one side with the shoji screen motif, the other side showing how the man made the shadow - and then folded in the middle. Fun and games back in the Edo era! Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
