Original Kunichika (1835 - 1900) Japanese Woodblock Print
Samurai and Night Battle, 1878

Comments - Interesting kabuki portrait of a samurai throwing his hand up in the air, scowling with furrowed brows. He wears a finely detailed suit of armor, his hair falling loosely over his shoulder. The page is divided diagonally, with a scene of troops in battle above, the figures rendered in silhouette against the night sky. A bold composition.

Image Size - 14" x 9 5/8" + margins as shown

Condition - This print with excellent color and detail as shown. Slight toning and soiling, a few creases and small spots. Please see photos for details. Good overall.
