As seen in the photos, this woodblock print of a Kabuki actor is by one of the masters of the art form, Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi. The publisher’s seal and censor’s seals are documented on the rear tag, which also contains all of the vital information. “Lady in the Iris Garden” is from a set entitled “The Seven Good Luck Gods along Sumida River”. The piece is loosely affixed into a paper sleeve which also creates a simple matte window. The rear of the print bears black and red Japanese script, which I have not had translated. The informative tag on the rear of the sleeve claims authentication, though a COA is not present. This print measures 9.5″ x 14.125″ and has thankfully been stored flat for seemingly many decades. The colors are still vibrant, especially the teal of the plant life. There appears to be some moisture staining along the top edge of the print, which may require restoration or basic cleaning. This beautiful and mysterious work by Kuniyoshi is destined to become the centerpiece of any collection.
