Description

This lot comprises multiple Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints on paper, depicting dynamic warrior (musha-e) scenes featuring samurai on horseback and on foot. Each print is framed by a decorative patterned border and includes various Japanese characters within cartouches and vertical red text elements. Two distinct sets are presented.


Condition report:

The first set exhibits relatively vibrant colors, though with minor age-consistent wear such as slight creasing, edge wear, and faint discoloration. The second set, however, shows severe color fading across all panels, particularly affecting blue and green pigments, resulting in a predominant pink/red palette and general paper toning, indicating significantly deteriorated condition due to light exposure or pigment instability.
