Yashima Gakutei Japanese Woodblock Print c1830 Surimono 'Courtesan as Tekkai'

Product ID: 242051769

Description

This exquisite Japanese woodblock print by Yashima Gakutei depicts a courtesan as Tekkai. The original surimono print from c.1830 showcases delicate artistry. However, it is important to note that this piece has significant and extensive fading of its original colors, leaving a largely muted appearance. The print is additionally affected by overall soiling, toning, and rubbing across the surface, which has softened some finer details. The paper exhibits some light creasing, and the reverse side shows considerable staining and discoloration, potentially due to previous mounting or moisture exposure. Its dimensions are 7 x 8 1/4 inches.
