Utagawa Toyokuni I Japanese Woodblock Print Actor Segawa Tomisaburō II

Product ID: 242050560

Description

This authentic Edo-period woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I features the renowned Kabuki actor Segawa Tomisaburō II from the series 'Fashionable Battledores of the Present Day.' The print measures 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 inches and displays significant age-related wear, including soiling, fading, and thinning. The vibrant colors are notably diminished, with evident overall toning and discoloration. Edge wear, creases, and small tears are present, and the reverse shows ink bleed-through and additional signs of thinning. This piece holds historical significance given its artist and subject but is reflected in its fair condition.
