Utagawa Kuniyasu Japanese Woodblock Print Bijin Modern Figures Imayo Sugata

Product ID: 242052689

Description

Discover an exquisite Japanese woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyasu, measuring 9 x 13 3/4 inches. This captivating artwork features a bijin from the renowned series 'Modern Figures' (Imayō Sugata). Please note the print exhibits significant fading of original colors, particularly in the green, pink, and blue pigments. Overall age-related toning lends the paper a yellowish-brown cast, while small spots of foxing and staining are visible across the surface. The edges of the print have been trimmed, and a small pinhole is present in the lower-left quadrant. The reverse side also demonstrates substantial toning and ink bleed-through. Enhance your collection with this authentic piece from the Edo period, featuring the artist's distinct signature (Kuniyasu ga) and publisher's seal (Ezakiya Kichibei).
