Description

Explore this authentic 19th-century woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni III, depicting a captivating Kabuki actor scene. This piece, titled 'Right to Akitsushima, Right to the Demon Cave' and dated 1850, is both a rare collectible and a masterpiece of ukiyo-e art. Please note the condition: it has pinholes along the left margin likely from a previous album binding, minor toning with more pronounced effects at the top, and noticeable brown stains at the bottom left corner as well as near the top right. While the reverse side shows ink bleed-through, the vibrant colors remain appealing. This woodblock print measures 9 1/2 by 13 3/4 inches and carries the seals of the censors Murata and Kinugasa along with the publisher seal Iseya Kanekichi, confirming its authenticity. Embrace the history and artistry today!
