EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the Edo period in Japan, specifically to the year 1777. Created by renowned artist Kitao Shigemasa, this exquisite woodblock print titled "The Sakuragawa Teahouse" offers a fascinating insight into the daily life of Japanese households during that time.
