Sôjô Henjô 増正遍昭 & Kisen bōshi 喜撰法師 - "A Collection of Flowers: Matches for the Six Poetic Immortals" - Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900) - Japan - Meiji period (1868-1912)

Embrace the allure of Japanese history with this authentic set of two woodblock prints by the renowned Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III. Measuring 35cm by 24cm each, these prints are a tangible connection to the Edo period, offering a glimpse into the cultural fabric of bygone days. \r

The artwork showcases Kunisada's mastery in the Ukiyo-e genre, depicting Kabuki actors in traditional garb with a richness of color and intricate patterns that remain vibrant to this day. Despite signs of aging such as wormholes, stains, and slight tears, these imperfections only add to the narrative of each piece, echoing their historical journey and survival through time. \r
