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.

Angry Confrontation - Interesting kabuki scene of two men involved in an argument. The fellow at left holds a few sheets of paper in his outstretched hand as he leans forward with an angry scowl. His companion turns away with a smirk, waving his hand dismissively. Nicely detailed with embossing in the crosshatches of the kimono at right.
