Antique original Japanese woodblock triptych print by Baido Kunisada (Utagawa Kunisada IV), published in Meiji 21 (1888) by Katada Chojiro, Asakusa district, Tokyo. This richly colored triptych depicts a ceremonial courtesan procession (oiran dochu) in Shin-Yoshiwara, Edo’s famous licensed pleasure quarter, under full-bloom cherry blossoms. Notably, two women in Western-style dress appear on the left, symbolizing the cultural transition of the Meiji era. Artist: Baido Kunisada IV (Utagawa school). Publisher: Katada Chojiro. Date: April 1888 (Meiji 21). 36.7 x 70 cm (full triptych). Condition: Antique original with light creases; backed with traditional support board as originally mounted for display. Features: Brilliant Meiji-period pigments, fine bokashi (gradation), detailed textile patterns, and elegant composition. A remarkable and highly collectible piece that captures the intersection of traditional ukiyo-e aesthetics and Meiji modernity.
