Oriental Women - SOLD

Oriental Women  is an original print realized around 1830 by  Utagawa Kunisada.

Beautiful colored  woodblock print.

This wonderful modern artwork represents two Japanese women one with katana in hand, a Japanese sword used by the samurai of ancient and feudal Japan. The scene could represent  Onna-bugeisha  women, a type of female warrior belonging to the Japanese nobility. These women engaged in battle alongside samurai men mostly in times of need. They were members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honor in times of war.

Include frame: 52.5 x 39 cm

Utagawa Kunisada , also known as  Utagawa Toyokuni III  (1786 - 1865), was the most popular, prolific and commercially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan.
