Discover a stunning original Japanese woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III), measuring 9 3/4 x 14 1/2 inches. This exquisite piece features a 'yakusha-e' (actor print) from a Kabuki play, portraying the character 'Hashimotoya no Shiraito', famously played by actor Iwai Kumesaburō II. The print showcases the signature style of Kunisada, who was the most commercially successful ukiyo-e artist of his time. With the publisher’s mark of Iseya Rihei (Kinjudō) and a 'kiwame' censor seal, it authenticates as an original 19th-century work. While it displays age-appropriate toning, fading, and minor soiling, this print is overall in good condition, further highlighting its value as a collectible item. A proud display of Japanese art history, this woodblock print is a unique treasure for both enthusiasts and collectors alike.
