Japanese Woodblock Print Original 19th Century Triptych by Toyohara Kunichika

Product ID: 242052648

Description

This original 19th century Japanese woodblock triptych print by Toyohara Kunichika depicts the powerful scene of 'Demon Ibaraki Retrieving her Arm and Watanabe no Tsuna' (1883). The artwork consists of three adjoined panels that beautifully capture a dynamic Kabuki scene featuring Ichikawa Sadanji I as the samurai and Onoe Kikugorō V as the demon. Measuring 28 x 14, this print has been trimmed and mounted with album backing. Despite its flaws, including a stain on the left panel's blue background, the colors remain vibrant and enticing, showcasing Kunichika's mastery of ukiyo-e.
