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.

Young Couple Kakemono - Charming kakemono or vertical diptych pillar print of a young couple, the man looking anxious as he peers around the edge of the beauty's sleeve. She smiles down at him fondly, a letter in her hand. Her hair is pulled back into a large bund adorned with a lacquer comb, hairpins, and ribbons, and she wears a fashionable red lipstick that takes on a greenish tone when more thickly applied, giving her two-toned lips. An attractive Edo era design.

Artist - Eizan (1787 - 1867)
