Original Toyokuni III/Kunisada (1786 - 1864) Japanese Woodblock print
Leaping into the Sea

19th Century Figural Prints- The 19th century was a time of great popularity for woodblock prints in Japan. While Hokusai and Hiroshige dominated the landscape print field, artists like Kuniyoshi, Kunisada (Toyokuni III), Kunichika and others were in the forefront of the figural print genre. These stunning prints from the kabuki, daily life, portraits of courtesans and samurai and famous scenes of Japan were hugely popular. New releases by the most famous artists were so anticipated that buyers lined up the morning a print was to be first offered. These beautiful antique prints are treasures from the Edo culture in its most decadent period. From portraits of stunning beauties to scenes of fighting samurai, these prints transport the viewer to another time, a place as compelling as it is unusual to us in the modern world.

Comments- Fascinating diptych of a young man leaping into the water, a board held over his head, as waves splash all around from the impact. A beauty and two samurai watch, horrified, from the deck of a luxurious pleasure boat decorated with paneled floral screens and cushions. A dramatic scene with great detail and lively color. Would make an impressive framed presentation.

Artist- Toyokuni III/Kunisada (1786 - 1864)
Image size- 14 1/4" x 19 3/8"
