Ando Hiroshige & Tokoyuni Kunisada Prince Genji in Exile at Suma Oban Triptych

About the Item

Stunning and rare, this beautiful and panoramic Japanese woodblock triptych print was produced in the 1850s in a now famed collaboration between renowned artists Utagawa (Ando) Hiroshige and Utagawa (Toyokuni III) Kunisada. Hiroshige was the leading landscape print artist and Kunisada the leading actor and figure print artists of their era. The print has all the correct artist's (Hiroshige's red rectangular seal), publisher and date seals and stamps. It was originally purchased from the Franell Gallery which was located in the Okura Hotel in Tokyo in the late 1960s and 1970s and owned by American artist and writer Frances Blakemore. A copy of the original sales invoice is attached to the back of the work. Clearly, this work would stand out in any setting or collection. Framed dimensions: 25.5" high, 35.25" wide, 1" deep.
