This print showcases the first card of a pack of Japanese playing cards, adorned with the beginning of a beautiful poem. Created in 1893 by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, this lithograph captures the essence of leisure and relaxation in Japan during that era. The card features not only the poetic verse but also a portrait of the esteemed poet themselves.
