Description: This print is from the series, "The Nippon Mokuhan Gasui" (Masterpieces of old Japanese colour prints), a collection of reproductions of various themes and designs published around 1924.

The crape myrtle flowers are gently rendered, the birds perched on the branches are lively depicted, and are beautifully captured in a single, horizontal printing.

It comes with a description sheet in English and Japanese.
There are a few small spots on this print. Also, there is a very slight crease on the lower left side.
