Original Sadanobu III (1881 - 1963) Japanese Woodblock Print
Nijo Castle

Series; Twelve Kabuki Plays, 1952

From the Uchida Publisher Archives - We were fortunate to purchase a wonderful collection of 20th century prints directly from the archives of the Uchida Art Company of Kyoto. The classic 20th century prints offered in our auction from this collection are all first edition prints of various designs released by the Uchida company in the mid-20th century. These first edition prints are unusual to come by in a nice group as they were generally sold off as they were produced. This excellent collection was held back and recently sold from the Uchida archives. These prints are a nice opportunity to collect a lovely 20th century print, or perfect as reasonably priced gifts. Don't miss out on these prints, once they sell out, we won't have them again!

Nijo Castle - Dramatic kabuki design showing the nobleman Toyotomi Hideyori standing on the deck of a ship, with the warrior Kato Kiyomasa kneeling before him. The warrior wears a black robe over his armor, a sword at his side and a spear lying nearby. A large tasseled standard rests in a black lacquer stand at right next to a chair. Nijo Castle rises above the opposite shore, the sky streaked with pink clouds as the sun sets. A handsome design, beautifully colored and shaded.
