Description
A Japanese color woodblock print, characteristic of the Ukiyo-e style, dating from the late Edo or early Meiji period. The composition features a dramatic narrative scene in the lower register, depicting a male figure poised to strike a prostrate female with a large spoon-like object, set against a background of flowering cherry blossoms and a tall screen. An upper register presents a landscape vignette with buildings and mountains. The print is densely annotated with Japanese text throughout, including narrative script, poetry, and various red seals and cartouches. Visible markings include the series title ‘Kannon Reigenki’ (観音霊験記) in the top right red cartouche, and a signature ‘Bansai’ (万斎) on the lower left.
Condition report:
The print shows expected age-related toning, minor creasing, light surface wear, and evidence of prior mounting. Colors remain relatively vibrant, and the overall impression is well-preserved.
