Edo/Meiji Period. A finely composed original Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print attributed to Utagawa Toyokuni III (also known as Kunisada), one of the most prolific and influential masters of the Utagawa school. The print belongs to the celebrated “Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji” series, a popular 19th-century reinterpretation of The Tale of Genji, depicting an elegant interior court scene with richly dressed figures, attendant, and literary elements including writing implements and incense. The upper cartouche contains a poem or narrative excerpt, reinforcing the literary context central to Genji-inspired imagery. Executed with delicate linework and harmonious color, the composition exemplifies Kunisada’s refined approach to bijin and narrative genre scenes. Signed “Toyokuni ga” at lower right. Presented in a later frame. A highly decorative and collectible example of Edo-period literary ukiyo-e. Frame measures 13.25in. x 18.75in. Shelved at Dupont. More

c.1950s. A refined and atmospheric Japanese woodblock print attributed to Hasegawa Sadanobu (長谷川貞信), depicting an elegant bijin (beauty) in formal kimono standing beneath a paper parasol and gazing toward the famed Kyoto landscape, likely referencing Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺). Executed in the traditional ukiyo-e manner and associated with the shin-hanga revival of the early to mid-20th century, the composition captures a quiet, contemplative moment—balancing delicate figural grace with a softly rendered architectural and natural backdrop. The artist’s signature appears vertically at lower left alongside a red seal, consistent with Sadanobu workshop prints produced in Osaka during the 1920s–1950s period. The palette remains beautifully preserved, with subtle gradations in the sky and finely detailed textile patterns, particularly the striking butterfly motif across the kimono. Presented in an attractive bamboo-style frame, the work displays mild, even toning and light age-related spotting visible primarily in the sky—typical for works of this type and period—yet overall retains strong visual impact.Frame measures 13.25in. x 18.75in. Shelved above Art Bins. More
