Geisha Print on Silk Crepe-WOW!

Description

This is an incredible piece of artwork printed on silk. Most typical of this type of media originates from a woodblock print. I was not able to identify the artist, but did confirm the image of the publisher mark who is, Tsutaya Juzaburo (
*more info below
). The subject and style tends to indicate this may be a design by Utamaro who was a very successful woodblock print artist. Utamaro subtly sought to capture the individual personalities of beautiful Japanese women, mostly the Geisha.
Artwork has been reproduced on 100% silk, with vibrant colors of Red, Black, Purple & some Pink. In Excellent Condition... no tears, stains, runs, color fade, or odors. This particular piece would look fabulous in a Black Lacquer Frame!"
*Tsutaya Jūzaburō

The Tsutaya Juzaburo seal is an Ivy Leaf under the 3 peaks of Mt. Fugi which can be seen in the lower left of this piece of artwork.
