Description

This is an original 19th-century Japanese woodblock print by the artist Ochiai Yoshiiku (1833-1904). The print depicts a dramatic scene, identified by the cartouches as featuring the priest Kōnen (光然和尚) from the series 'Sakura Sōshi no uchi' (櫻荘子之内), based on a story by Kanagaki Robun. The print bears the artist's signature, a publisher's seal for Kinjuhan, and a round 'aratame' censor's seal, dating it to the late Edo period (c. 1854-1872). Measurements are 9 x 13 3/4 inches. Note that the print has staining and trimming.
