Original woodblock print triptych – Paper – Samurai – Watanabe Yosai Nobukazu (1872-1944) – “Soga Nakamura kankyo no zu” 曽我中村閑居之図- Japan – 1898 (Meiji 31)

This woodblock print is old, so there is color bleeding. Few stains/soiling and paper losses.

The sign of Yousai nobukazu e(楊斎延一画) is written on the ukiyo-e.
This ukiyo-e has traces of tearing and trimming.
This work is a representative work of Nobukazu.
Nobukatsu was good at bijin-ga and samurai paintings as well as his master, chikanobu.
