Original Print by Takahashi Biho c1900: Dragonfly & Lotus Framed 14" LS#034 Modern art This Nakiri Hocho with aTakahashi Bih () Dragonfly & Lotus (c. 18901910s) A lyrical shikishiban nature study: a dragonfly hovers over concentric ripples while white lotus blossoms open among dark pads.

Often associated with small format deluxe issues from the late Meiji to early Taish period, impressions like this balance clarity and atmosphere with elegant restraint.
