Ogata Gekko gekko portrait Surimono

Gekko Surimono appear to be very rare. The first image on this page is possibly from a book of Haiku, where different artists contributed decoration or images to the page.This piece is dated 1891. The second is of an Adonis flower, dated 1887, the text is untranslated. Finally we have a little Nezumi (Rat) with a childrens toy, this one is from much later in his career. It may only be a fragment of a larger print but to date it is the only copy I know of.
