About This Print
Miyashita created a number of undated small prints that he denoted as "Miniprint" or "Mini Print" in their titles.  On some prints, such as this one, he also added ミニプリント (minipurinto) in Katakana.  The paper size of these prints is approximately 7 x 5 in. (17.8 x 12.7 cm) with the image area encompassing only a small portion of the paper.  My guess is that the prints were created in the 1980s.Â
