Presenting a fascinating original 18th-century Japanese woodblock print by the renowned artist Utagawa Toyokuni I, titled 'Courtesans in a Mock Procession' (Keisei mitate gyôretsu no zu), circa 1796-97. This rare ukiyo-e piece demonstrates Toyokuni's celebrated proficiency in capturing the grace and beauty of his subjects, showcasing courtesans in a vibrant procession. Despite its condition, which features a significant tear with paper loss at the top left corner, overall paper toning, and faded colors, it holds immense historical value as a true representation of late 18th-century Japanese art. Toyokuni I's mastery is further highlighted by his signature and the publisher's seal, affirming the authenticity of this work. Ideal for collectors seeking to own a piece of ukiyo-e history. The print measures dimensions consistent with traditional woodblock offerings. Don't miss the opportunity to acquire this cultural treasure at auction.
