[FAN ALBUM]. TAISHO ERA WOODCUT FAN ALBUM FROM KYOTO. Fan albums are an interesting genre. Created as marketing tools for deluxe fan makers, they are a compilation of a season's available designs, commissioned from some of the most eminent artists of the day. Once the season was over, the sample books were sold - a very limited production. They have largely disappeared from the market, almost before anyone noticed how interesting they really are. This particular example is very nice, with 57 prints in all - by such important artists as Seiho, Taikan, Tessai, etc., plus a number of unsigned and quite striking abstract designs, as well.
