Description from the seller
Kubota Beisen “Two Courtiers Under a Tree” [Explanatory Tentative Title]
From the 1891 issues of the book Toshi no Nishiki (Nishiki of the Capital)
A multicolor woodblock print depicting two figures in costume against a backdrop of trees. The left figure’s pale blue and purple garments are adorned with delicate patterns, while the right figure’s green clothing and bright red collar add color to the scene. In the background, a red cord stretched between the trees and bell-like ornaments are depicted.
In the lower right corner of the composition there is a seal reading “Beisen” and a large red seal, indicating it is a work by Kubota Beisen. The depicted figures and the specific narrative are not identified; the title is a provisional caption based on the design.
The accompanying art book that contains this print, Toshi no Nishiki, is also housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The overall catalog number for the museum’s collection is RP-P-2005-531.
Paper size: about 24 × 32 cm.
The book itself, its cover, and colophon are not included; this is a single sheet offered independently. 1891 is the publication year of the book, but the actual year of the print’s impression has not been confirmed.
Overall, there is tanning and small stains/soiling, a central vertical fold, and slight creases and edge wear. Black specks in the upper margin, and partial soiling and bleed-through of the design on the reverse side are also present. Please refer to the condition notes for front and back and enlarged photos.
Framing is not included.
