Fashionable Spring Moon - Triptych - Utagawa Yoshitora 歌川芳虎 (act

An original Japanese colour woodblock print triptych by Utagawa Yoshitora (歌川芳虎), dating to circa 1847–1852, depicting three elegantly dressed women in a traditional Japanese interior. The women wear richly patterned kimono, while dramatic silhouettes of performers and musicians appear behind the shoji screens, creating a striking interplay between light, shadow, and movement. The composition beautifully captures the elegance, fashion, and entertainment culture of Edo-period Japan, combining refined depictions of female beauty with an unusual theatrical atmosphere. Artist: Utagawa Yoshitora (歌川芳虎) Title: Fashionable Spring Moon (風流弥生の月) Date: Circa 1847–1852 Medium: Japanese colour woodblock print Format: Oban triptych Condition: The triptych is in good overall condition for its age, with signs of ageing consistent with its period. It is backed. Note: On the far-left sheet there is a stain (see detailed picture).
