Lot 84:
Description
A pair of Japanese polychrome ukiyo-e woodblock prints on paper, attributed to Yoshitake and Toyokuni, from the ‘小倉百人一首’ (Ogura Hyakunin Isshu) series, consistent with late Edo or early Meiji period production. The left print depicts a seated female figure identified as ‘奥山大夫’ (Okuyama Tayū) holding a scroll. The right print illustrates a dynamic male figure, ‘元良親王’ (Motoyoshi Shinno), grasping a staff. Both prints share a common design element at the top, a horizontal woodgrain-effect cartouche bearing the series title ‘小倉百人一首’ (Ogura Hyakunin Isshu) and calligraphic Japanese text. Further visible text includes artist signatures ‘豊國畫’ (Toyokuni ga) and ‘芳竹’ (Yoshitake), along with various publisher, censor, and date seals, such as ‘喜升亭’ and ‘柳亭種彦記’.
Condition report:
General paper toning, some color fading, and minor surface wear commensurate with age. Faint vertical creasing is visible on both prints.
