Toyokuni III Also Known as Kunisada Utagawa Japanese Oban Woodblock Circa 1851 Samurai with Wagasa Umbrella

Kunisada Utagawa (1786-1865)

In this wood block he is known as “ Toyokuni ga. He changed his name to Toyokuni III in 1844. The same signature was used by Toyokuni II (Toyoshige or known as Hongo Toyokuni, 1777-1835)”

This very nice and bold Oban woodblock shows the samurai in full robes with sword handle at the waist. A very nice striking with the texture of the plate showing through on the white, the inside of the kimono and also at the top of the neck. The rich and dark colors stand out well and the woodblock shows only minimal fading to the colors. 

Framed with Museum glass and a double mat.
I have not taken the woodblock out of the frame.

Size: Frame is 15 1/2 x 20 inches
