Description

This is an original 19th-century ukiyo-e woodblock print diptych by the celebrated artist Utagawa Kunisada, who signed his work as Toyokuni III. The two panels form a complete and dynamic scene depicting a court gathering, likely featuring the powerful 12th-century samurai regent Taira no Kiyomori, whose name appears in a cartouche on the right panel. The artwork is filled with figures in ornate kimonos, capturing the rich detail and narrative style characteristic of the Utagawa school.

**Artist:** Utagawa Kunisada (signing as Toyokuni III, 1786-1865)

**Measurements:** Approximately 19 1/4 x 14 1/4 inches (for the combined diptych).

**Condition:** The print is in fair antique condition. It exhibits significant overall fading, minor worming, and general soiling consistent with its age.
