| Kôkan: Girl on a veranda |
Shiba Kôkan (1747-1818), or Suzuki Harushige, was a very skilled artist who worked with a large number of styles and techniques. One of his specialities were woodblock prints in Harunobu's style. He even signed some of them with Harunobu's name. Today we would call that forgery.
This print is “Girl on a veranda” by Kôkan - falsely signed “Harunobu”. Note that Kôkan imitated Harunobu's style, but made his own picture.
