Description

This lot presents six Japanese woodblock prints on paper, arranged as two horizontal triptychs. The upper triptych depicts a leisure or courtly scene under blossoming trees, featuring a group of men seated under a striped tent, a single figure walking, and two figures conversing. The lower triptych illustrates a dynamic battle scene with numerous warriors, some on horseback, engaged in conflict against a mountainous and forested backdrop. All prints display Japanese text, including what appear to be signatures and seals. The overall style and subject matter are consistent with the Ukiyo-e tradition, likely dating to the 19th century.


Condition report:

The prints show visible paper toning, areas of discolouration, some creasing, and scattered foxing consistent with age and the type of work.
