AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Takeuchi Seiho "Chicks and Scattered Petals" [Provisional Title for Description]
A plate from the 1891 edition of The Brocade of the Capital (Ten no Nishiki).
A polychrome woodblock print depicting five chicks and pale pink petals scattered at their feet. Four sit close on the left, while one spreads its wings on the right, with each gesture rendered vividly.
The soft plumage of the yellow chicks contrasts with the darker tones, and the generously taken negative space is striking.
In the lower right corner there is the early pseudonymous seal "Suihō" and the red seal used by Takeuchi Seiho. The work’s title is a provisional descriptive subtitle based on the motif.
The exhibition volume containing this plate, The Brocade of the Capital, is also held by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The museum’s catalog number for the volume is RP-P-2005-531.
Sheet size: approximately 24 × 32 cm.
The tome itself, its cover, and the colophon are not included; this is presented as a single sheet. 1891 is the publication year of the volume, and the actual printing year of this sheet is unconfirmed.
Overall there is tanning, small stains/soiling, and a central vertical crease. The right edge shows fraying and small losses, and the bottom margin bears soiling. The reverse side shows through-shading of the design. Please check the front, back, and enlarged photos for the condition.
No frame is included.
