Description

This stunning surimono by Gototei Kunisada features famous Kabuki actors Ichikawa Danjuro VII, Iwai Hanshiro V, and Segawa Kikunojo V. The print, measuring 7 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches, exhibits significant signs of age and wear, including thinning, fading, and rubbing, particularly on the black pigments. The paper shows overall toning and light foxing. The reverse side has extensive damage from previous mounting, including severe thinning, paper residue, and adhesive staining. Despite its condition, this rare work represents Kunisada's mastery and the culture of 19th-century Japan.
