Seiho Shugacho is a four-volume book compiled by Murakami Kanbei and published in 1901. The book is bound in a traditional Japanese style, with the third and fourth volumes containing exquisitely colored woodblock prints. The artistic style of the works is a fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and the modern elements of the Meiji period. The Meiji period was a thriving period for publishing, with many traditional and contemporary works of art printed and published. The art of this period was influenced by Western culture, but was also characterized by its emphasis on Japanese aesthetic sensibility.
