Description

A group of six Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, presented as two triptychs, depicting Kabuki actors (yakusha-e). Executed in multi-color on paper, typical of late 18th to mid-19th century production. Each panel features distinct Japanese text in vertical cartouches, likely identifying the artist, publisher, and subject matter.


Condition report:

The prints show varying degrees of age-related wear. Pigments, particularly red and purple tones, exhibit some fading. General paper toning is present across all panels. Minor creasing and slight edge damage are visible, commensurate with their apparent age.
