"Bamboo in early summer" (初夏の竹), a 1954 ōban, by Kasamatsu Shirō (笠松 紫浪; 1898-1991), a Japanese engraver and printmaker from Tokyo, who was active during the Taishō and Shōwa eras.

Like Kyoto-born Tokuriki Tomokichirō (笠松 紫浪; 1898-1991), Shirō, who apprenticed at the age of 13 with Kaburaki Kiyokata (鏑木 清方, 1878–1973), was trained in both the shin-hanga and sōsaku-hanga styles of woodblock printing.

The Japanese title - "Shoka no Take" (初夏の竹) - refers here to the cool shade in a bamboo forest in summer.

The seals in the left margin show that this print was published by Unsōdō (indicated by the "Un" watermark in the lower left corner of the paper), that the carver was Nagashima Michio, and the printer Niimi Saburo.

The date of the print means this was created prior to the termination of cooperation between Kasamatsu, Asano and Unsōdō.

The cut-out in the bottom right corner (known as a 'kento cut') is due to the printing process.
