ABOUT THE WORK
Kanadehon Chūshingura, the story of the forty-seven loyal retainers, was the most popular play of the Edo stage. Print designers illustrated it act by act for more than a century. Act Eight is the quiet interlude of the drama. Tonase escorts her daughter Konami along the Tōkaidō to be married, and the act is traditionally drawn as a travel landscape. Yoshitora follows that tradition. A roadside tea stall with a smoking fire sits under tall pines, a finely dressed young woman stands by the shore, and Mount Fuji rises over a deep blue bay with white sails.
Yoshitora, one of Kuniyoshi's leading pupils, is best known for warrior prints and Yokohama-e. This design shows his softer side, and its Hiroshige-style landscape is less typical of his work.
Seller's Story
I've been collecting Japanese woodblock prints for quite a while now — everything from classic ukiyo-e to shin-hanga and sōsaku-hanga. What started as a personal passion eventually turned into something more, and these days I source prints from auctions, galleries, and private collections across Japan and Europe.
With growing worldwide interest in Japanese woodblock prints, gallery prices have been climbing steadily. My goal is simple: offer high-quality, authentic prints at reasonable prices. I'm picky about what I sell — I look for pieces that have been stored properly, kept flat, and are free from serious foxing, stains, or damage.
I'm based in Germany, which means EU buyers won't deal with any import duties or taxes. For US buyers, original artworks under HS code 9702 are duty-free as well. And wherever you are, I pack everything carefully with multiple layers of protection so your print arrives safely.
If you have questions about a piece, just reach out. You will get access to contact me once you've won an item from my lots.
