Original Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861) Japanese Woodblock Print
Emperor Wen of Han (Kan no Buntei): He Tasted His Mother's Medicine

Series; The Twenty-four Chinese Paragons of Filial Piety, 1848


The Twenty-four Chinese Paragons of Filial Piety - Terrific design from a rarely seen Kuniyoshi series depicting the famous "Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety," a Chinese book featuring examples of the extraordinary devotion of children to their parents and relatives. These unusual designs have a rather Western appearance, some featuring patches of color or hatching to give a more three-dimensional appearance. These wonderfully detailed subjects are a nice complement to Kuniyoshi's more well-known warrior designs.

Image Size - Page size 9" x 6 3/8"

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