by Toyokuni III/Kunisada (1848 - 1920) and Kunisada II (1823 - 1880)
Deity Riding a Dragon - Fantastic image of a deity atop a dragon appearing in a cloud of smoke rising from an incense burner held by a young girl. At right, a beauty dozes as she leans against an armrest. This diptych is formed by two covers of the book "Japanese Library of Eight Phases of Buddha's Life," which was issued in multiple installments. A terrific design, detailed with embossing on the white areas of the background.
