Below a copy of a Japanese print by Meiji Period artist, Teian, published by Toyodo Publishing on July 10, 1889.
This lovely work of art is a gorgeous Sugoroku, Dice Game (see the latest issue of Daruma Magazine for the great cover article on Sugoroku, Japanese Dice games).
The meticulous attention to the details of 19th Century Japan is stunning in this beautiful piece of Japanese art and history.
