Lot 243:
Description
This item comprises a triptych of three Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints on paper, depicting distinct yet thematically linked scenes. The leftmost print presents an expansive landscape vista featuring distant mountains, a meandering river or lake, and fields with numerous circular, reflective water features. The central print depicts two elegantly dressed women in kimonos walking along a path in a similar mountainous landscape under a large sun or moon, with a temple-like structure and other figures in the background. The rightmost print shows two women in kimonos, one standing and one seated, engaged in an activity outside a thatched-roof building, with visible tea-related implements on a low table. All three prints bear vertical text blocks, including titles, signatures, and publisher/censor marks, notably a prominent red vertical title cartouche on the rightmost panel.
Condition report:
The impressions appear well-defined with strong, vibrant colors in the primary images. Accompanying faded versions indicate significant light exposure and pigment degradation, suggesting a past period of greater vibrancy. General paper aging, minor creasing, and slight discoloration are evident, consistent with their likely historical period.
