A woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I depicting Ushiwaka-maru in armour. This Ukiyo-e artwork showcases the artist's skill in portraiture and historical representation.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825) depicts Ushiwaka-maru in full armour. Toyokuni I was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e school, known for his portraits of Kabuki actors and depictions of historical and mythical figures. His work helped to define the visual culture of the Edo period in Japan. The print shows Ushiwaka-maru, a childhood name of the famous samurai Minamoto no Yoshitsune, dressed in detailed armour. The armour is rendered with careful attention to pattern and texture, with the figure holding a sword. Calligraphic text accompanies the image, adding to the visual complexity and providing context or narrative elements. The colours are muted, typical of Ukiyo-e prints, with a focus on line and form to convey the subject's character and presence.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
