This Kuchi-e print by Kajita Hanko, titled 'Beauty and Plum Blossoms' and produced in 1903, exemplifies Meiji period woodblock printing enhanced with silver mica to add shimmering effects.

Kajita Hanko was noted for his delicate and elegant portrayals, contributing to the nuanced visual landscape of early 20th-century Japan.
