Metropolitan Museum of Art, United States

Works by Yashima Gakutei (八島岳亭, c. 1786-1868), in the public domain in France: his surimono, colour woodblock prints often enriched with metal pigments, which poetry circles had printed to accompany their poems, and a few large views of Osaka. Each print is linked to its record at the museum that holds it: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Rijksmuseum, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The photographs are those of the museums, which place them in the public domain or release them (CC0). A design sometimes exists in several impressions; the site shows only one. The titles are those of the museums, in English or Dutch, with their translation.
