Description: This print belongs to the set “Picture Book by Various Famous Painters” published by Aoki Suzando. It was edited by the Meiji-era artist Gessai Fukui. The designs were adapted and redrawn as reduce-scale woodblock prints after the original masterworks by a variety of earlier artists.

In this case, the original design is from Matsumara Keibun and depicts a chinaberry branch with small white flowers in bloom. A charming butterfly is caught in mid-flight flying above the leaves.

This print has a fold and two tiny holes in the middle. It is toned and has some stains but retains nice color for its age.
