[USED] Woodblock print, knot pattern, maple leaves

This is one of the works included in the art book "Musubi Moyo" (Rounded Patterns), published in the early Showa period. A gourd is depicted with braided cord against a background of autumn leaves and pine needles. While the lines are simple, the piece exudes elegance and warmth. The gourd has long been considered a lucky charm, warding off evil and bringing good fortune. Why not frame it and display it in your room?
