A dramatic woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 'A Branch of Plum (Umegoe)' depicts a samurai standing over his fallen opponent, set against a backdrop of plum blossoms.
Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period. He is celebrated for his dynamic depictions of historical and mythical scenes, warriors, and animals. Kuniyoshi's work is characterised by its dramatic compositions, expressive figures, and inventive use of colour. He was a significant influence on later generations of Japanese printmakers. 'A Branch of Plum (Umegoe)' exemplifies Kuniyoshi's skill in portraying dramatic narratives within the ukiyo-e tradition. The print shows a samurai standing over a fallen opponent, both figures rendered with careful attention to detail in their clothing and expressions. The plum blossoms in the background offer a poignant contrast to the scene of conflict, perhaps symbolising resilience or the fleeting nature of life. The composition, with its dynamic arrangement of figures and textual elements, is typical of Kuniyoshi's mature style.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
