Original Kunisada (1786 - 1864) Japanese Woodblock print
Samurai and Beauties Triptych

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- A terrific original triptych design by Kunisada depicting a samurai visiting three geisha, a young attendant girl holding his sword nearby. The group enjoys the evening out on the veranda. This subject with make an excellent display.

Artist- Kunisada (1786 - 1864)
Image size- 28 1/2" x 14 1/2"
Condition- Excellent color and detail. This print is not backed. Three separate panels not attached at the seams. Some slight thinning, a few small holes and tears repaired from reverse, blend well.
