Japanese Edo Woodblock Print Composite Album 33 Triptychs Kuniyoshi
item#: 1304678
price: SOLD
Large 99-page Japanese mid-19th century composite album consisting of 33 of the more interesting, rare, and desirable oban-sized woodblock print triptychs produced during the late Edo period. Included are prints by Kuniyoshi (12), Kunisada I and II (7), Sadahide (5), Yoshikazu (3), Yoshitsuya (2), Hiroshige II (1), Yoshitora (1), Yoshimori (1), and Kunitsuna (1). The individual sheet size is 14 1/4"V x 9 3/4"H. The double-sided accordion format album was assembled after the prints were published, so the condition of the individual triptychs is variable. As is typical, most of the images were trimmed to fit neatly into the album. The prints are album backed and attached at the side margins only. It appears they could be easily separated. Additional images and a complete list with full attributions are available upon request. This album is from the collection of Harutami and Michi Ajiki.
