[Untitled surimono]

[Deguchi], Sansetsu [signed and sealed in the block by].

A surimono featuring poems and an illustration of a man offering a drink to a turtle by Deguchi Sansetsu (active late 1840s–early 1850s), an Edo-based painter. Several elements of the illustration (the fisherman, turtle, and black box) are probably references to the tale of Urashima Tarō.

One ōbōsho surimono, complete. Folds, browning, general marks, and stains. Partially backed with washi paper. 34.4 x 53.5 cm.
