Condition Report

A fine Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print. A man with headdress between two small cupboards with tea cups and trays. He is probably the Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro. Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, was the most popular, prolific and commercially successful designer of ukiyo-ewoodblock prints in 19th-century Japan. In his own time, his reputation far exceeded that of his contemporaries, Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi. About the publisher, see Marks #209.
