This is a complete triptych, a set of three woodblock prints designed to be displayed together as a single continuous scene. The prints exhibit significant soiling and thinning across all three panels. The paper is visibly thinned and has faded, with the image showing through to the back in some areas. The edges and corners show wear, including small tears and minor losses. The panels appear to have been previously bound or mounted together, as evidenced by the dark strips and residue along the adjoining vertical edges. Some creasing is visible on the surface of the prints. The work is by Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865), also known as Toyokuni III, a renowned ukiyo-e artist famous for his depictions of Kabuki actors. This triptych showcases Ichikawa EbizÅ V as Minamoto no Gengo, Ichikawa Monnosuke III as Soriuchi ChÅkichi, and Ichikawa DanjÅ«rÅ VII as Anewa no Gonza. Dimensions are approximately 30 x 15 inches, reflecting the unique triptych format.

**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
