Description

This lot comprises six Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints on paper, dating from the late Edo to Meiji periods. The collection includes three individual vertical format prints: two actor portraits set within ornate oval cartouches, one of which features *kumadori* makeup, and one domestic scene depicting male and female figures. The remaining three sheets form a vertical triptych, illustrating a multi-figure dramatic tableau against a vibrant red background. All prints feature extensive visible Japanese text, including titles, actor names, and publisher/censor marks.


Condition report:

Fair to good overall condition. Consistent with age, there is general paper toning, minor creasing, and some pigment fading across the prints.
