Magic in the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac - Kunichika's fantastic series "Magic in the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac" presents kabuki actors in magical roles associated with the animals of the zodiac. These bold, three-quarter length portraits are beautifully colored and detailed, with the figures set against an atmospheric night sky. Many images include deluxe printing techniques such as burnishing and embossing. A rarely seen series and a great choice for a collector.

Special detail - Embossing on the white kimono collar and trim, metallic pigment that has oxidized to a dark tone on the floral hair ornament and the full moon.
