This print is from the "Rekidai Meisaku Ukiyo-e Bijinga Taikei" (Great Collection of Ukiyo-e Masterpieces: Pictures of Beautiful Women) series, likely a post-war reproduction set of 50 prints published by Adachi Company.

Note: Adachi folded the print once to fit it into their packaging, and the crease is still visible. We will fold it at the same point for shipping.

This print has slight oxidation on orange color.
