AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original woodblock print by Kono Bairei (1844-1895) - Double-page illustration from the series "Bairei Ekagami" - 1903 (first edition)
"Bairei Ekagami" is a collection of seven accordion books, each consisting of 15 double pages with illustrations. These books were published posthumously and contain prints that had not appeared in print before. The series is also known as "Bairei Gakan (Mirror of Bairei's Paintings)".
The print offered here is a first edition from 1903. This first edition, issued by Shigemoto Ryonosuke, is extremely rare. A more common version is the later edition, issued in 1913 by Unsodo, which also reissued the series in 1982 (with some pages of illustrations without the vertical fold).
Details of the print:
- Bairei's red seal is visible on the print.
- Dimensions: 26.6 x 21.8 cm.
The woodblock print is in good condition, is affixed to paper on the back, and shows a vertical crease due to the double-page format. In the bottom left corner of the margin the paper is thin, but that is outside the print. See the photos for details.
The final photos show the front and back covers of the original booklet in which the prints were housed. Note: the covers themselves are not included with the sale of the print.
The print will be carefully shipped in a sturdy cardboard package.
