A Celebration of the New Year in Japanese Woodblock Prints

January 1 - March 1, 1990

This print by Shinsai, who designed many surimono, is intricately united with the poetic imagery of the four poems which use the child's hobby horse and the act of riding it as a metaphor for enthusiastically facing the coming year of the horse.
