Up for auction is a stunning Meiji-era woodblock print, measuring approximately 11 3/4 x 14 1/2 inches. This single sheet features a vibrant diptych reproduction by renowned ukiyo-e master Ippitsusai Bunchō, showcasing the Kabuki actors Ichikawa Yaozō II and Matsumoto Kōshirō IV in exquisite detail. The print originates from the famed 'Ehon butai ōgi' (Picture-book of Stage Fans), adding a rich historical significance to this artwork. The paper exhibits a light cream tone with minor age toning, while the colors remain relatively well-preserved with slight fading evident. The print bears a vertical center fold consistent with its book page origin, along with a characteristic ink bleed-through on the reverse side.
