Kabuki theatre scene is a color woodblock print on paper, realized by utagawa toyokuni ii around 1810 ca. This lovely ukiyo-e print depicts a kneeling actress, more precisely a geisha, wearing a precious and richly decorated kimono, during a theatrical performance in the japanese theatre called kabuki. It is particular to notice the theatrical setting reproducing a flowering trees, likely a flowering cherry trees. With printed inscription in japanese ideograms and in cartouches at the margins. In very good to excellent condition, except for usual aging signs (abrasion on edges) and little discolorations, this superb original japanese print could furnish your house with an elegant oriental touch! provenance: property from a german private collection, assembled between the 1950s and 2000.
