Authentic antique Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print by celebrated Edo-period master Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861), created circa 1848 as part of the renowned samurai series “Seichū Gishiden” (“Stories of the True Loyalty of the Faithful Samurai”). This striking composition depicts a powerful samurai warrior rendered in Kuniyoshi’s iconic dramatic style, featuring detailed armor, expressive linework, and beautiful blue and black pigments characteristic of mid-19th century Edo-period printing. Warrior subjects by Kuniyoshi remain among the most sought-after categories of Japanese ukiyo-e art. The print is presented in a vintage gilt frame and retains strong visual appeal for display despite age-related wear consistent with an authentic 19th century impression. Dimensions: • Frame: approximately 19.5”H x 14.5”W • Visible print area: approximately 14.5”H x 9.5”W Condition: Antique condition consistent with age and authenticity. The print shows foxing, staining, creasing, edge wear, small tears, paper losses, surface abrasions, and discoloration throughout. Lower corners and margins show noticeable wear and handling. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description. A wonderful example of Edo-period Japanese woodblock artistry and an excellent addition to any ukiyo-e, samurai, or Asian art collection!
