Dive into a captivating collection of six Meiji-era (1894) woodblock print reproductions from the renowned work 'Seirō Ehon Nenjū Gyōji' by the esteemed Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro. Each print, measuring 6 x 9 inches, is thoughtfully matted on paper/cardboard with handwritten identification, showcasing detailed courtly life and seasonal festivities in the Yoshiwara pleasure district of Edo.

These prints reflect Utamaro's mastery in capturing the beauty of women and the charm of their surroundings. The collection includes: 1) Courtesans in an Interior, 2) Courtesan Procession, 3) Man and Phoenix (Hō-ō Bird), 4) Women Gathered Indoors, 5) Women Serving Tea, and 6) Pounding Mochi for New Year.

While displaying some light, even age-related toning characteristic of prints from the period, the colors are generally well-preserved, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of these historical pieces.

This is an excellent opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese art-these prints are not only aesthetically pleasing but offer a glimpse into the cultural life captured by one of the masters of ukiyo-e printmaking. Place your bid now to own this significant collection from a pivotal era in Japanese art history!
