This beautiful woodblock print is part of the series "One Hundred Chrysanthemums".

The lyrical illustrations beautifully bring to life the unique character of each chrysanthemum variety through expressive lines and vibrant colors.

Prints from this series are becoming increasingly rare (including this 1966 edition) and are highly sought after by collectors.
