Description

A Japanese Ukiyo-e polychrome woodblock print triptych, likely dating to the Edo period, depicting Kabuki actors. Each panel features a central figure in elaborate traditional attire against a patterned screen background. Numerous Japanese characters are visible in cartouches and within the compositions, including what appear to be actor names, play titles, and publisher/artist seals. Printed on paper.
