The 'Hat Dance' in the play 'Musume Dojoji'.

A unique print: Binnie's first Kabuki 'kappazuri' print is a stylized portrait of famous actor, Bando Tamasaburo, as Agemaki, a high-level courtsean in the paly 'Sukerorku'.

The cherry-blossom tattoo in this print is a standard motif in all Japanese culture, symbolizing transience of the world, especially of youth.

The blue-hued version Kemuri ('Smoke').

The effect of the print comes from overlaying blocks of 'bokashi' applied by hand during the printing process.

By using two blocks, the multi-layered effect of this print portrays the dense feel of the air under heavy clouds on an autumn day.

An elaborate cloud print, this was carved on several blocks and printed in extensive 'bokashi'.

This 'kacho-go' (or flower-and-bird) print is a study of orchids. In 'hosoban' format, two versions are available, in two different colour schemes. This one is inspired by the artists in the publisher Hasegawa's stable.

This is the second version of 'Asa no ran' (Orchids - Morning). The black background of this version seems both more modern and dramatic. Here, the petals have a lilac tinge to the blue shadows.

One of Binnie's smallest prints, this design is based on a former print, 'Miyajima'. This edition is in an open edition.

The model is trying on a 'hanten' (padded jacket), in shade of pale purple with a black velvet collar. The obi has a silver metallic pigment.
