This exquisite Utagawa Kunisada Japanese Woodblock Print features the notable Kabuki actor Iwai Hanshiro V. Measuring 16 1/2 x 22 1/2 inches, with the image size of 9 1/2 x 14 3/4 inches, this framed and matted piece showcases significant age-related toning and discoloration. Collectors will appreciate the multiple instances of foxing and visible creasing present on the paper, along with a small dark stain on the figure's head covering. Though the colors have faded, particularly in the blues and reds, the frame is in good condition, albeit with minor scuffs. Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III (1786-1865), was one of Japan's most prolific ukiyo-e artists and a leading figure in kabuki prints. His signature 'Gototei Kunisada ga' and the publisher's seal of Izumiya Ichibei ensure this print's authenticity and value.
