Description

A pair of Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, likely dating from the Edo or Meiji period. The left print depicts a bustling waterfront scene with numerous figures, a stone wall, and a tall wooden structure, featuring Japanese text in a red vertical cartouche and a smaller text block. The right print illustrates figures interacting in turbulent coastal waters alongside rocky formations, marked with Japanese text in a pink vertical cartouche, an additional text block, and a publisher’s seal. Both prints exhibit the characteristic ukiyo-e style.
