A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, this portrait depicts Yokogawa Kanhei Munenori with meticulous detail and a limited colour palette, typical of the Ukiyo-e style.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) depicts Yokogawa Kanhei Munenori, a figure likely drawn from historical or legendary accounts. Kuniyoshi was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e style, known for his dynamic compositions and depictions of warriors, heroes, and mythical creatures. His work often incorporated elements of folklore and historical narrative, appealing to a broad audience in 19th-century Japan. The portrait presents Munenori in profile, set against a backdrop of stylised foliage and text panels. The figure is rendered with meticulous detail, from the intricate patterns on his clothing to the determined expression on his face. The print employs a limited colour palette, typical of Ukiyo-e, with an emphasis on line and form to convey depth and texture. The composition balances the figure with the surrounding elements, creating a visually engaging image that captures the character and spirit of the subject. The print exemplifies Kuniyoshi's skill in blending historical themes with artistic innovation, making it a significant example of Ukiyo-e portraiture.

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.
