Antique Japanese Woodblock Prints x 2 19th Century. The larger one is by Toyohara Kunichika. It measures 34 x 22 cm. The smaller on depicts warriors and measures 23 x 15 cm. Both are stuck to paper & framed under glass in a mid 19th century frame. I think they are charming as they are, but I would imagine a serious collector would open the frame and give them some TLC. There are some knocks to the frame and the inside could do with cleaning & the glass has some scratches. These super woodblocks are original Antiques. The colours are bright & vibrant. The overall picture measures 54 x 32 cm. The item “Antique Japanese Woodblock Prints x 2 19th Century Toyohara Kunichika” is in sale since Saturday, January 19, 2019. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian/Oriental Antiques\Japanese\Paintings & Scrolls”. The seller is “downworth65″ and is located in Barnard Castle. This item can be shipped worldwide.
