Original print by Keika Hasegawa from the portfolio One Hundred Chrysanthemums published in 1893. Each delicately colored woodblock print is depicted with a perfect bloom balanced atop a long single stem. 

Woodblock printing is a technique that was widely used throughout East Asia from the 7th Century until the 19th Century. Beginning in China as a method of printing on textiles, it entered Japan in the 8th century where it became a very important art form, particularly during the Edo Period (1603-1868). Ukiyo-e (this style) is the best-known type of Japanese woodblock art print. 

The print is in excellent condition! No tears. 4 holes along the right edge of the print where it was originally bound.
