What: Incredibly RARE Authentic Japanese Woodblock Print by Toyokuni III (Utagawa Kunisada)
Artist: Toyokuni III (aka Utagawa Kunisada)
Title: Nakamura Shikan wearing amazing Jaguar head coveringYear of printing: 1862 (164 years old)
Size: Oban sized print (9.75”w x 15.5”h).
Condition: This print is in excellent condition overall.
There is trimming to the margin on the left side. However, if you search this image online, you’ll find that all copies of this design have the same trimming. I have no idea why. Out of the 4 other copies of this design that I could locate, all of them were trimmed on the left margin just like this one. I’m sure there were some without the trimming, but I couldn’t locate any.
Minor handling marks.
This print has never been framed.
The colors are bright and fresh, the impression is clean and the lines are sharp.
Please see the images for details of the condition.
Images: All images are to be considered as parts of both the condition and the description.
Shipping: Free shipping, with full insurance, via USPS Ground Advantage, for all buyers located within the contiguous United States.
Questions: Please ask questions before you offer.
Notes: This print is very difficult to find, especially in excellent condition. Aside from this one copy, which I purchased about 10 years ago, I have not seen another copy for sale.
I have been collecting Japanese woodblock prints since 2010. I have personally only seen a few copies, but they were never actively for sale.
Thank you for stopping by, please check my other sales for additional rare art and art related items.
