Original Magaki Ishosho Japanese Woodblock Print
Deity before a Full Moon, 1776

Early Edo Woodblocks by Ukiyo-e Masters - Handsome design from a group of early Edo era woodblocks by 17th and 18th century master artists such as Moronobu, Sukenobu, Toyonobu, Shunsho, Koryusai, and others. This terrific selection of illustrations includes beauties, noblemen, poets, nature subjects, kabuki plays, and scenes from everyday life, depicting traditional tales and novels, as well as the new "the floating world," in wonderful detail. Early ukiyo-e prints primarily took the form of book illustrations, with few individual prints known by artists like Moronobu, who is often considered the founder of ukiyo-e. This is an unprecedented offering of classic, early designs, and a wonderful opportunity to add a work by a renowned ukiyo-e artist to any collection.
