Catalog note / 解説
Genji Monogatari: Chapter LII: Kagero Artist: Kunisada II Format: Oban tate-e: 14" x 10" Subject: On a log raft in the pouring rain a bijin shelters a boatman with her umbrella. Beside them, a bronze brazier sends smoke into the night sky. This fine series by Kunisada II highlighted the talents of the artist. In the rare first edition printings (like this) with lacquer and blind printing they mark a high-spot in Japanese print production in the 1850's. Publisher: Tsutaya Kichizo Date: 1857 Condition: Very fine colors. Full size. Album binding holes along left margin. Two tiny stains top left. Fine state of preservation. Impression: Very fine impression with gauffrage.
