First edition. An attractive woodblock print in the ukiyo-e tradition. Unusually, this was a chirimen-e, a crepe-paper print, rather than a print on standard flat hosho paper. Takahashi worked for Watanabe Shozaburo for many years, producing hundreds of woodblock prints for them. This print seems to have been produced from 1923 until about 1932. Takahashi's work tended to capture the essence of everyday Japanese life rather than focusing on noted landmarks. This print is recorded in the Shimizu Hiroaki catalogue (2005), number 249, page 55 (Boston Museum of Fine Arts). The double-gourd seal form used on this work is specifically associated with his "Hiroaki" signature rather than his "Shotei" signature. In particular, the croissant shape to the base identifies it as Seal "1" in Shotei dot com's Hiroaki seal collection. The print is 21cm x 15cm. Smaller than the normal print, as the process of making the crepe effect shrinks the paper by about a third. There is some edge wear to the left edge, with minimal loss of print (mainly to the white border) and the other edges are slightly ragged. Otherwise a lovely example. .
