Description: From the series "Nihon hanazue" (The Flowers of Japan). The woodblock print "Hanasaka no okina" (The Legend of the Old Man Who Made a Cherry Tree Bloom). The old man squats in a tall cherry tree which is in full bloom beneath him; from below he is greeted by an onlooker holding a fan; terraced rice-fields can be seen through the fog behind him in the distance. Signed: Gekko. Seal: Gekko. Publisher: Sasaki Toyokichi. Good impression with blind embossing, backed, slightly yellowed and faded, notes in pencil. (# 307)
