Early Edo Woodblocks - Handsome design from a group of early Edo era woodblocks by 18th and 19th century master artists such as Hokusai, Eizan, Eisen, Toyokuni I, and others. This terrific selection of illustrations includes beauties, kabuki portraits, and scenes from everyday life, depicting traditional tales and novels, as well as the new "floating world," in wonderful detail. This is a terrific offering of classic, early designs, and a wonderful opportunity to add a work by a renowned ukiyo-e artist to any collection.

Ichikawa Danjuro VII as a Yakko - Terrific portrait of Ichikawa Danjuro VII as a yakko or low-ranking servant, grimacing angrily as he looks up over his shoulder. He wears a black kimono with a distinctive striped collar and diamond crest identifying his position over a red brocade kimono and a yellow and red under robe trimmed with fringe. Oddly, vines with grounds seem to be hanging from his waist, trailing down over the edges of his kimono. A blossoming plum tree and drapery frames the scene above. A great kabuki subject.
