Japanese Edo Woodblock Print Triptych Kunisada Genji Flower Party
item#: 1422741
price: $450.00
Japanese woodblock print triptych by Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, (1786-1864) titled "Hana no utage Murasaki no omokage" (Flower Party) published by Moriya Jihei in 1859. The print illustrates a scene with Prince Genji seated beside a lake on a raised platform with ladies at his side enjoying cherry blossoms and spring weather. Each panel measures 14 1/2" x 10" (the left panel is slightly more narrow). Very good color and good overall condition. The panels are not attached, there are margins evident on the top and left sides, and the image and baren marks are visible on the back. The paper is quite fine and is somewhat wrinkled throughout. The lower left corner is rubbed. There are two ink stains on and above the lantern in the left panel. The panel edges are slightly worn and with bends and small losses.
