From a Tokyo Estate - We're pleased to bring you this exquisite group of Meiji Beauty triptychs direct from a Tokyo estate collection. These prints are in very fine condition with gorgeous, bright color and sharp detail. These beautiful and rare prints were selected for their fine condition and uncommon beauty. This is a terrific opportunity for a collector interested in only the highest quality prints. 

Comments - Lovely triptych of a group of beauties enjoying an outing to Asakusa Park on a fine spring day. They pause while crossing a covered walkway to watch the koi fish swimming in the water below, an attendant holding a fringed umbrella over an upper-class young lady. The incredible, Western-style octagonal Asakusa Ryounkaku Tower rises in the background, with people crowding the balconies at the top for a panoramic view of the gardens below. A beautifully drawn image with delicate detail and soft color, framed by blossoming cherry trees. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.

Artist - Chikanobu (1838 - 1912)

Image Size - 14 1/8" x 28 3/8" + margins as shown
