Description

The item consists of six Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) on paper, comprising two distinct triptychs, each composed of three individual sheets. The top triptych depicts three half-length figures, likely Kabuki actors, against a background of red maple leaves. The bottom triptych features groups of full-length figures in traditional attire against a more subdued landscape. Each print includes vertical columns of Japanese text, various seals, and red rectangular cartouches with inscriptions.
