Reference/Illus na
Comments A strikingly voluptuous modern-day "bijin-ga" image--surfing eyes closed under a curling wave. Virtually unheard-of artist whose prints are quite RARE (second copy we've ever seen). (A reliable source in Tokyo tells us that "most Okada prints are found badly foxed.") Absolutely pristine condition.
