A didactic inscription appears in the upper section of the image. While executed in the refined aesthetic style of bijin-ga, the series is distinguished by its underlying message: a humorous form of satire conveying the idea, “This is how you should NOT be.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally produced during the Edo period, this is a recarved edition from the late Shōwa era (1980–1990), issued by the publisher Yuyudo. Part of Utamaro’s ukiyo-e collection marked “not for sale,” this print showcases exceptional color, exquisite line work, and meticulous craftsmanship. It presents a rare opportunity to appreciate the timeless elegance and artistry of Utamaro’s vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnique: Woodblock\u003cbr\u003ePrint size: 8 and 3\/4 x 12 and 5\/8 inches (22.2 x 32 cm)\u003cbr\u003eImage size: 7 and 7\/8 x 11 and 3\/8 inches (19.8 x 29 cm)\u003cbr\u003eDate:  Showa era (1980-1990)\u003cbr\u003eSigned: Signature on the lower left side of the image\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good condition.\u003cbr\u003e*Handmade Japanese washi paper may contain bark bits or natural impurities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e*** ABOUT SHIPPING *** \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca title=\"SHIPPING FOR DOMESTIC BUYERS\" href=\"https:\/\/sakurafineart.com\/pages\/shipping-for-domestic-buyers\"\u003eFor Domestic Buyers\u003c\/a\u003e   \u003ca title=\"- ABOUT DOMESTIC SHIPPING -\" href=\"https:\/\/sakurafineart.com\/pages\/shipping-for-domestic-buyers\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1067\/0092\/files\/1_icon.png?v=1553866651\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFlat shipping rate  (\u003cspan\u003eUPS 3-Day, fully insured)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e $18.00\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHowever, for PO Box addresses, US military addresses (APO, AP), Hawaii, and Alaska, we will continue to use USPS Priority Mail.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWhen you use our shopping cart and go to checkout, you will see your shipping charge.
