Wife of Tokugawa Ieyasu, No. 1 - Lovely woodblock of the wife of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun and founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Her purple coat is trimmed with black fur and has a green lining patterned with delicate scrollwork. Beautiful soft shading in her lovely face, with fine detail in the hairstyles and embossing on the white kimono collar. A handsome print and a great choice for a collector.
