Highlights
Three-panel (triptych) Japanese color woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861). Each panel is signed Ichiyūsai Kuniyoshi ga (一勇齋國芳画) and carries the publisher seal of Kinkakudō (金かく堂) and the paired censor seals Fuku and Muramatsu, consistent with publication in 1849 (Kaei 2). The design appears to match a set in the Waseda University Tsubouchi Theatre Museum (acc. 100-7041/42/43), made for the spring 1849 Kawarasaki-za production of Date-kurabe Okuni Kabuki, the "Sendai Hagi" story of the Date clan succession plot (palace scene).
On the left, Lady Okinoi (沖の井) grapples with a black-clad assassin over her naginata. At center, the loyal nurse Masaoka (政岡) shields the young lord Tsuruchiyo with her son Senmatsu (千松) beside her. At right, the scheming Yashio (八汐) kneels before a bamboo-and-sparrow screen. The museum record names the actors as Ichikawa Shinsha I (Okinoi), Onoe Kikujirō II (Masaoka), Ichikawa Saizaburō (Senmatsu), Ichikawa Otokichi (Tsuruchiyo) and Ichikawa Danjūrō VIII (Yashio).
Condition: fair to good for its age. The three panels are joined as one continuous sheet, which has been stored folded. It is not mounted or backed. There are no wormholes and no writing on the back. Overall toning, fading and soiling, surface rubbing at the upper edge, and fold creases. Folded size approx. 9 x 17 in. Please see all photos.
We have not had the print independently authenticated; it is described from the printed signature and seals and the museum match. Ships flat between rigid boards via USPS Priority Mail, insured. Offers considered.
