Original Meiji Era Japanese Woodblock Print by Yoshu Chikanobu – 'Beauty of the Keicho Era'
This original antique Japanese woodblock print is signed by the esteemed artist Yoshu Chikanobu (1838-1912) and is titled "Beauty of the Keicho Era" from the series "Mirror of the Ages (Jidai Kagami No Koro)," created in 1897. The print beautifully captures the elegance and refined beauty of the Keicho era (1596-1615), which was a time of cultural flourishing during Japan's Edo period.
Chikanobu was a renowned Meiji period artist, highly regarded for his portraits of beautiful women, historical figures, and scenes from the samurai and courtly life. His works often convey both beauty and historical narrative, blending traditional ukiyo-e techniques with the evolving styles of the Meiji era.
The print was published by Matsuki Heikichi, a well-known publisher of the time, and remains in unframed condition, allowing for customization in presentation.
