Description

A set of three Japanese multi-color woodblock prints, characteristic of the ukiyo-e style from the late Edo or early Meiji period. Each print depicts a bijin (beautiful woman) in traditional attire within an interior setting, engaged in activities related to flower arranging or serving tea. Executed on traditional Japanese paper (washi) using water-based pigments, each panel features visible Japanese calligraphy and a red seal mark in the upper sections.


Condition report:

The prints exhibit general age-related toning to the paper. Visible creasing is present across all panels. Some foxing is noted. There is noticeable fading of the pigments, particularly the blues and purples, consistent with the age and material of production.
