This stunning original 19th-century Japanese woodblock print features the renowned Kabuki actor Kawarasaki Gonjūrō, beautifully crafted by the celebrated artist Toyohara Kunichika. The print exhibits significant signs of age and wear, including noticeable fading of colors and overall toning of the washi paper. There are multiple pinholes scattered across the print, particularly along the left margin, likely from previous binding or mounting. The margins appear trimmed, and some light soiling and minor creasing are also present. Additionally, the reverse side shows significant bleed-through and discoloration. Despite its condition, this piece remains a valuable addition for collectors of traditional ukiyo-e art.
