This captivating diptych by Utagawa Yoshiiku, measuring 18 x 13 1/2 inches, showcases a vibrant scene from the kabuki play 'Sono uwasa sakura no irodoki' (其噂桜色時), featuring notable actors such as Bandō Hikosaburō V, Onoe Kikugorō IV, and Arashi Kichisaburō III. Despite its artistic appeal, the piece has notable condition issues: expected wormholes and significant color fading that can be observed when comparing the front to the back, along with general age-related toning and light staining. The prints have been trimmed along the outer margins, which may impact display. This original work dates back to around 1863, affirming its historical significance. As a complete diptych, it is a sought-after collectible for enthusiasts of kabuki theater and ukiyo-e art alike.
