  • About

    'Shi-to Hanga' is one of a number of coterie magazines published from the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s.
    This volume includes Onchi's original print 'Study of human figure: young girl' as the frontispiece and machine-printed works by Tanaka Kyôkichi, Kawakami Sumio, Kayama Kotori, Yamaguchi Kôka, Fukazawa Sakuichi and Fujimori Shizuo.

    Works by Tanaka Kyôkichi are extremely rare as he only produced works for less than two years before he died.
