Kuniyoshi Prints - One of the great masters of ukiyo-e woodblocks, Kuniyoshi is perhaps best known for his warrior prints, but he worked in a range of subjects. In addition to dramatic samurai and battle scenes, he also created kabuki, beauty, landscape, and comic designs, each expertly drawn and composed. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire a classic woodblock by this great Edo era artist at a low opening bid price.

Scene from Ichi-no-tani musha-e no iezuto, 1849 - Interesting scene from the kabuki play "Ichi-no-tani musha-e no iezuto" of Tamaya Shinbei attacking Ukai Kujuro at the foot of a bridge. Shinbei raises his sword above his head as he grabs the kimono of Kujuro, who is on his kneels as begins to fall backwards with a dazed expression. From left, the actors are Ichikawa Kodanji IV and Ichikawa Danjuro VIII. Nice expressive figures.
