Description

A Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print on paper, depicting a dynamic scene from the *kaidan-e* (ghost picture) genre. The print is identified at the top as ‘新形三十六怪撰’ (Shin-kei Sanjūrokkaisen – Thirty-six New Ghost Stories), with a vertical cartouche on the right containing further descriptive text including ‘武田勝頼’ (Takeda Katsuyori). A red seal is present at the bottom left, and a smaller seal at the bottom right. The style suggests a late Edo or Meiji period production, likely mid-to-late 19th century.


Condition report:

The print exhibits overall paper toning consistent with age, noticeable color fading, and some creasing or handling marks, particularly along the uneven and deckled edges.
