- Four Ex-Libris Woodblock Prints: Fish, Girl and Apples, Camellia, and Woman -

Four charming miniature woodblock prints by Senpan Maekawa (1888–1960) depict a patterned fish, a girl holding apples, a camellia, and a woman. Each has a distinct design, and together they make an appealing group.

These prints are ex-libris (bookplates)—labels used to identify the owner of a book. Bookplates are also collected as small works of art.
