Description

A Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock print triptych, consisting of three vertically-oriented panels, depicting a large ceremonial or military procession of numerous figures in period attire, some mounted, alongside a body of water with distant mountains. The artwork is executed in the Ukiyo-e style, characteristic of the Edo or early Meiji period, showcasing a blend of traditional and early modern Japanese costume. Visible markings include vertical Japanese text blocks in the upper sections of the left and right panels, and several red seals, notably in the lower corners. The prints are rendered in various colored inks on paper.
