AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I offer two very nice ukiyoe original Musha-e (warrior print) woodblock prints representing two famous samurai.

Tonai Mitsuzumi (藤内 光澄) was a late-Heian period samurai and retainer in 12th-century Japan. He is famous for killing Minamoto no Yoshitaka on the orders of Minamoto no Yoritomo.

Abo Hizen-no-kami (安保肥前守) was a samurai commander from the medieval Nanbokuchō period 14th-century, belonging to the Musashi clan lineage.

The woodprints are signed Utagawa Yoshitora (act. ca. 1836-1887)

In good condition for their age as pictures show.

The items are in the European Union therefore no hidden import taxes within the EU.
