Takahashi Hiroaki, whose name is Katsutaro, was born at Asakusa, Tokyo. The veteran artist Matsumoto Fuko was his uncle, and from him Hiroaki began to learn drawing at the age of 9. He had been engaged for some years in making paintings and illustrating text-book and magazines, as well as exhibiting in various exhibitions. In the spring of 1907, at the request of Watanabe, he commenced to design color-prints. His works were popular in Europe and America, and before the earthquake his prints numbered some 500.

The quality, colors and exquisite nature these Japanese woodblock prints can not be fully appreciated with these inferior pictures. The colors on the print are a bit stronger, bold and more exciting. More pictures gladly supplied on request. Buyers of these prints will not be disappointed. These prints will provide you with years of pleasure and pride of ownership. We will gladly provide additional pictures upon request.
