Description:
Oban with blue background, publisher unidentified (Toyo). Two of the aprons use pictures to complete the written names of the men wearing them: a dragon for "ryu" and water for "umi." This and the Shunko print (AC 1998.63) were owned previously by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who drew over several lines with colored crayon.
