About the Item

Kabuki Scene is a Japanese multi-colored woodcut tryptich realized around the end of the 19th century by Toyohara Kunichika (1835 - 1900). Original woodcut on paper. The artwork is a triptych (each one dimensions: 22,5 x 34.5 cm). The scene depicts two samurais fighting. Includes frame: 81 x 47 cm. In good conditions. Kunichika Toyohara was born in Oshima Yasohachi (1835 - 1900). He was one of the last Japanese ukiyo-e painters. His first signed print dates from 1852, but it was only in 1854 that he took the go (stage name) "Kunichika". He is best known for his prints of Kabuki actors, using the woodblock technique. He also painted beautiful women and, on occasions, historical scenes. Allegedly, he had 40 wives, debts, and attended to parties.
