What: Full color Deluxe Osaka woodblock print of Kabuki actors Kataoka Gado II as Madhiba Hisayoshi and Ichikawa Sukejuro II as Nakamura no Yasuke in the play Ehon Taikoki at the Chikugo Theatre. Edition: Deluxe first edition with metallic inks and extra fine printing. Fantastically beautiful example for any collection. Artist: Hirosada signature upper right. Measurement: approx 7.0″ High X 9.75″ Wide. Date of Printing: 2/1849. Condition: Print is in excellent condition, unbacked. Graphite dealer notations on the back bottom edge. I notoced a very small tear in the lower middle margin when massing this listing (it does not enter into the image). I repaired the tear on both sides with archival document repair materials. I’ve tried to take a close up of the repairs, but they’re very difficult to see in photos or in person. It’s about 1/8th of an inch long. Images: The images are accurate and only brightness and contrast have been adjusted in an attempt to get accurate color depictions. Please consider the images as part of both the description and the condition. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Prints”.
