This exquisite Original 19th Century Japanese Woodblock Print by Ogata Gekkō, titled 'The Flower Festival' from the iconic 'Tale of Genji', showcases a captivating scene from Chapter 8. The print exhibits age-appropriate toning across the paper, which is more pronounced on the verso. The rich colors, while still appealing, show some fading compared to their original vibrancy—a common characteristic of prints from this era. Minor foxing spots are visible in the lighter areas and on the margins, yet the print retains its intact full margins, featuring the artist's signature and publisher's information (Matsuki Heikichi). A remarkable addition to any collection that reflects the beauty and craftsmanship of the Meiji period.
