This image is identifiable as a single sheet from “Yamashiro no kuni Ide no Tamagawa” / “The Ide Jewel River in Yamashiro Province, ” from an untitled triptych series of the Six Jewel Rivers. The design is a wonderful example of Kuniyoshi’s bijin and landscape work, combining a graceful female figure, flowering branches, patterned kimono, flowing blue water, and fine Edo-period textile detail. Kuniyoshi is one of the major ukiyo-e printmakers of the 19th century, best known for warrior prints, actor subjects, beautiful women, landscapes, humor, and highly inventive compositions. Here, the appeal is quieter and more lyrical: the woman’s pose, the blossoms, and the moving water create a refined seasonal scene with strong decorative presence. This is one sheet from the original triptych composition, not the complete three-sheet triptych. Presented in a black metal frame with matting. Measurements: Frame: 13.5″ x 18.25″ x 1.0″ Image: 9.0″ x 13.0.

Old Japanese wood block. Custom framed and matted many years ago. The matting is made of thin wood (see picture #5). I cannot read the inscriptions. We were not collectors of Japanese wood blocks, but we bought a number of them that we liked. This was a favorite. Interesting writing around the interior of the print. As shown in the last 6 pics.
