Fan print with two bugaku dancers is an ukiyo-e woodblock print dating to sometime between the mid-1820s and 1844 by celebrated Edo period artist Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III. This print is simultaneously an example of the uchiwa-e (fan print) and aizuri-e (monochromatic blue print) genres.

Sukiya Bridge, woodblock print by Un'ichi Hiratsuka by 1945. Un'ichi Hiratsuka (平塚 運一, Hiratsuka Un'ichi, November 17, 1895 – November 18, 1997), born in Matsue, Shimane, was a Japanese woodblock printmaker. He was one of the prominent leaders of the sōsaku hanga ("creative print") movement in 20th century Japan.
