Description

A collection of Japanese polychrome woodblock prints, executed in the Ukiyo-e style, likely dating from the Edo or Meiji period. The collection includes a large triptych, composed of three individual panels, depicting numerous female figures within an interior setting. The figures are adorned with detailed kimonos, and the scene features a distinctive green floor. Additionally, there are three individual, vertically oriented prints. Each of these portrays one or two female figures set within natural environments, featuring flora; one of these individual prints notably includes a large moon in the background. All prints are on paper. Japanese characters, including what appear to be artist signatures, series titles, and seals, are present on multiple sheets.
