Published by Tsutaya Kichizo, the print depicts a scene from the Kabuki play “Yugao in the Moonlight at the Summer Palace” (“Natsuzashiki Tsuki Yugao”), set in the Heian era. It narrates the tale of a nobleman falling in love with a beautiful woman named Yugao. The art captures the essence of a summer night's garden scene, where Yugao and her maids are enjoying the moonlight. Yugao is portrayed as an elegant oiran (high class courtesan), while her attendants are each dressed in vibrant, elaborate kimonos, enhancing the atmosphere of a balmy summer evening. The right panel features a maid in black kimono wearing curious spectacles, adding a unique touch to the composition. Please note that the print shows the typical signs of time, including spots, corner folds, fading, and small holes. These elements of wear contribute to the historical authenticity and charm of this artwork, making it a valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of traditional Japanese art and Kabuki theater. Dimensions of a panel: approx. H 37 cm W 24.7 cm ・Please make sure to review all the provided information and images before placing your bid. ・We make every effort to accurately represent the product's colors and textures in our photos.
