Title: Hikifuda of a ship against the rising sun.
Description: n.p. [c1900?]. Colour wood engraving? 26x36cm. Minor signs of use, quite good. ¶ This handsome ship hikifuda - small poster or handbill - advertises something I can't read. It uses the western technique of wood engraving, a technique that had a brief run in commercial printing between traditional woodcuts and lithography.
