Description

A Japanese woodblock print, executed in the Ukiyo-e style and likely dating from the late Edo or Meiji period. The print depicts a heavily tattooed male figure seated on a low woven bench under a moonlit sky with tree branches. The colors remain vibrant. Visible markings include vertical Japanese text in two cartouches in the upper right, along the left margin, and a red seal in the lower left, along with another red seal in the lower right.


Condition report:

The print exhibits age-related toning and discoloration to the paper, particularly visible on the verso. There is some possible pigment fading, minor creasing, and edge wear consistent with its age.
