”Taira No Tadanori Under the Cherry Tree”
Woodblock Print - Triptych
14 1/2 x 9 3/8 inches (each sheet)
D. 1884/5
Up for sale is a strikingly beautiful Japanese woodblock triptych by Kobayashi Kiyochika entitled “Taira No Tadanori Under the Cherry Tree”. Printed in 1884/5 on three sheets, this image depicts warrior “Taira No Tanaori” with his armor placed to his side while a powerfully large flowering cherry tree takes up the full 1st sheet. This triptych has never been displayed resulting in the prints original color remaining quite strong. The condition overall is good but there are two tears less than 1 inch present as well as a pin hole. Interestingly this triptych appears to have its original portfolio as shown. The images provided accurately represent the quality, condition and aesthetic beauty of this fantastic Kobayashi Kiyochika woodblock but if you have any questions please feel free to ask prior to purchasing!
