Item Details
Description
Yamashiro, Snow at Fushimi, Lady Tokiwa, Otowaka, Ushiwaka, and Imawaka, No. 3 from the series: Snow, Moon, Flowers

Lovely woodblock print of the lovely Lady Tokiwa and her three sons escaping through the snow from Kyoto to nearby Fushimi after her husband Minamoto no Yoshitomo was murdered. She holds her infant son to her chest, and a hat over one son's head, as he blows on his hands to keep warm. The inset above shows an actor, most likely in the role of Taira no Kiyomori, who forced Lady Tokiwa to become his paramour. A beautiful print with lovely detail, including a dusting of shimmering mica in the dark background of the inset.

12 7/8 x 8 3/8 + margins
Condition
With excellent color and detail. A few small areas of thinning in subject and along edges, repaired from reverse. Light spotting and rubbing in subject and margins. Please see photos for details. Nice overall.
