Description: Torii Tadamasa Japanese original woodblock print, printed in c. This is an original vintage Japanese woodblock print by Torii Tadamasa, created around 1950 as part of the “Calendar of Kabuki Actors” series. The composition beautifully captures the dramatic aesthetics of Kabuki theater, with strong lines, refined color application, and expressive character design typical of mid-20th century shin-hanga style prints. Printed on traditional Japanese washi paper. November : Kamakura Gongorô (Play: Shibaraku), a classic and powerful depiction of a Kabuki actor with bold kumadori makeup, emphasizing strength, intensity, and theatrical presence. We sell only authentic traditional Japanese hand-printed woodblock prints, including later re-carved or later edition works. We do not handle modern machine-made prints, offset prints, or modern printed copies of any kind. All prints in our store are genuine te-zuri (hand-printed) woodblock prints, carefully hand-printed by skilled Japanese artisans using traditional Ukiyo-e techniques on authentic Japanese washi paper. The visible pigment bleed-through on the reverse side is a natural characteristic of hand printing and a clear sign that this is not a reproduction or machine-made print. Please refer to the photos for the item’s condition. We strive to photograph and describe the condition as accurately as possible. However, perceptions of condition may vary depending on individual standards.

From an estate sale with many fine Asian antiques in Los Angeles. Two women, one with a little boy on her back, examine the potted plants a street vendor has for sale. On offer are a potted plum bonsai and adonis flowers (fukujuso) in variously shaped pots, so we know the setting is the New Year. The lantern mount behind the vendor, decorated with paper and plant streamers, also signals the beginning of spring. This print belongs to a series of twenty designs depicting groups of people from various classes wearing elegant street clothes. Measures approximately 10″ x 15.75″. I removed it from its frame to get a closer look. The frame has been discarded. Contact me with any questions.
