I recently acquired an extensive antique Chinese/Asian collection. I am now listing the woodblock prints and art portion of this estate collection. Many rare woodblock prints from the one owner estate.Up for auction is an original antique Japanese woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III) dating from 1864. This woodblock print is from the series "Tale of Genji" and is Chapter 13, Akashi. Has the artist signature and marked with the publisher marks in the lower corner. Great colorful image and detail. Woodblock print is in very nice original condition with no tears, no holes,� no folds, no large creases, no fauxing, no water damage and no tape residue. Has no cut or trimmed edges. Color is excellent and has minor wear around the edges and corners(nothing major). The paper has the original embossed pattern on it as seen in the photos. Actual woodblock print measures approx. 14 5/8 by 10 1/8 inches. Very rare woodblock print and would look great framed. Found safely stored away for years at a recent 95 year estate of along time collector and from a smoke free home. Please check my other auctions for other Asian antique items from the same estate, including other Japanese woodblock prints. The glare spots are from the lights reflection and NOT on the actual surface of the item(color is excellent). Good luck and feel free to read more
