Japanese Edo period woodblock print kakemono (vertical diptych) by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) depicting a full figure Heian beauty, Lady Shizuka-gozen, dressed in shirabyoshi (court dancer) costume appearing under a rolled screen, preparing to dance before Yoritomo. Published by Izumiya Ichibei circa 1840. Signed Kochoro Kuniyoshi ga. The publisher's seal is at the bottom of the image. The assembled size is about 28” x 9 3/4" (top sheet: 13 7/8" x 9 3/4"; bottom sheet: x 14 1/4" x 9 3/4." Very good clean overall condition. The panels are not attached, the print is not backed, and there is no tape or tape stains evident. There are some minor spots in the background and one possible old repair or flaw in the paper to the left of the signature. The top sheet is probably slightly trimmed. This image is listed as S95c.2 in "Kuniyoshi: The Warrior Prints."
