Antique Japanese 6-Panel Screen Featuring Ukiyo-e Prints of Kabuki Actors – Meiji Period
A rare and visually captivating antique Japanese six-panel screen, adorned with twelve original 'ukiyo-e' woodblock prints from the late 19th century, depicting kabuki actors, kabuki script scenes, and elements of folk art.
This Meiji period piece (circa late 19th to early 20th century) is a fascinating fusion of visual storytelling and theatre culture, offering a vibrant window into Japan’s rich performing arts heritage. Each print is finely detailed, showcasing expressive figures in dynamic poses, dressed in elaborate costumes, with scenes likely referencing popular kabuki plays of the time.
The prints are mounted on a traditional folding screen, creating a dramatic narrative sequence across six lacquered panels. This piece is not only a decorative focal point but a collector’s treasure that celebrates the golden era of ukiyo-e and kabuki.
