Description

This item comprises two Japanese woodblock prints, likely a diptych, executed in the Ukiyo-e style and depicting a historical or legendary scene with samurai figures and horses. Produced on paper, these prints likely date from the 19th-century Edo or early Meiji period. Visible markings include extensive Japanese calligraphic text blocks and cartouches on the left print, a vertical inscription column in its lower left, and the identifying text “Tomoe Gozen” on the right print.


Condition report:

The prints exhibit significant age toning, color fading, and various creases, consistent with their age and handling. The paper appears somewhat fragile.
