About MeThis woodcut is not signed or dated but is clearly by the same artist who excecuted ABDAG 7463 and may even be based on at least one shared woodblock. Printers often experimented with colour harmonies, using altered blocks on top of the same print.

More About Me

This is unsigned, but likely the work of Chikanobu, a master of bijinga (images of women), including capturing changing fashions, hairstyles and make-up.
