Rare Original Japanese Woodblock Print

' Two Generals '
The Spear-bearer seems to be holding his nose
(Possibly a joke)

By
Yoshimura Seizan*
(1700-1776)
*Who may have edited this series

Date of publication:
Kan'en 3 (1750) by Shokodo of Osaka

Series: Wakan Meihitsu Gafu
(Treasures of Celebrated Paintings of China & Japan)

Printed on traditional strong, thin Washi paper.
A good strong imprint.
Two separate single-sided unfolded sheet diptych sheets
that have never been framed (some are signed/captioned in Japanese script).

There is a wonderful economy of detail, as demonstrated by these studies.

Condition as picture:
(VGC for age, trimmed)
(Slight paper ageing/soiling/surface marks
commensurate with over 270+ years of age,
e.g. there may be small 'pin' holes)

Image Size approx:
6 x 8.3 inches
