Rat on Mallet / Ogata Gekkō (1900s-1910s)

Ogata Gekkō‘s Rat on Mallet (1900s-1910s).

Apparently rats are a symbol of good luck. Though this image of the print comes from the British Museum’s digital collection, I actually first saw Rat on Mallet as part of York Art Gallery’s Making Waves: The Art of Japanese Woodblock Print exhibit.
