A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, portraying Yoshida Sayaemon Kanesada in traditional Japanese style. The portrait captures the subject in a moment of quiet contemplation, rendered with fine lines and subdued colours.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) depicts Yoshida Sayaemon Kanesada, a figure from Japanese history or legend. Kuniyoshi was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e school during the Edo period in Japan, known for his dynamic and imaginative prints, particularly those featuring warriors, mythical creatures, and historical scenes. His work often displays a flair for the dramatic and a keen sense of design. The portrait presents Kanesada in a moment of contemplation, his hands clasped near his mouth, with a spear resting against his shoulder. He is dressed in armour, with swords visible at his side. The composition includes text panels with Japanese calligraphy, which likely provide information about the subject and artist. The background features a simple interior scene with a screen decorated with insect motifs. The colour palette is restrained, with blues, yellows, and browns dominating the image, typical of Ukiyo-e prints of this era. The print exemplifies Kuniyoshi's skill in capturing character and narrative within the constraints of the woodblock medium.

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.
