About the Item

A Japanese ukiyo-e triptych, this framed Kabuki theater woodblock print captures the energy and drama of Edo-period performance. The scene unfolds across three panels, each meticulously printed on traditional washi paper, depicting a theatrical confrontation between elaborately dressed figures. Their expressions are heightened with bold lines and striking color contrasts, a hallmark of yakusha-e, or actor prints, a beloved genre in Japanese woodblock printing. The composition brims with movement—flowing garments rendered in shades of indigo, crimson, and earthy ochre, punctuated by the actors’ dynamic postures. Their ornate kimonos showcase delicate patterns, while their exaggerated features—arched brows, piercing eyes, and theatrical makeup—bring each character to life. Hand-applied pigments add richness to the details, enhancing the depth of the print. The calligraphy flanking the figures identifies actors and roles, a common practice in Edo and Meiji-era Kabuki prints. Protected behind glass, the artwork is framed in a later red lacquer frame, complementing the vivid tones of the piece. Age-worn edges and soft patina speak to its history, likely dating to the late Edo or early Meiji period. Whether displayed as a collector’s piece or an elegant focal point, this framed Japanese woodblock triptych celebrates the legacy of traditional theater and masterful printmaking.
