(1786-1865) \"Musicians Playing on the Veranda\" - Ukiyo-e color woodblock triptych","description":"A triptych color woodblock print, ca. 1860, matted and framed. Each panel measuring 34.3 x 23.2 cm (13½x9\")., framed to 48.5 x 98 cm (19x38½\"). The work depicts three musicians, one playing a kokyu, a shamisen, and a koto.  Not examined outside of frame but in apparently fine condition, with bright and vivid colors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKunisada was the most prolific of all the Ukiyo-e artists. He studied under Utagawa Toyokuni (from which he adopted the \"kuni\" name) and excelled primarily as a designer of kabuki actor prints and portraits of women. He also designed a large number of shunga (erotica pictures) in book format. He was a noted poet and a member of a prestigious literary circle that included popular writers Shikitei Sanba and Santo Kyoden.  Kunisada supplanted his master's adopted son and son-in-law Toyokuni II in 1844 and due to this succession, he is widely referred to as Toyokuni III.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093433700511,"sku":"10808","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Kunisada_Triptych_10808.jpg?v=1722187992","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/10808-japanese-music-kunisada-aka-toyokuni-iii-musicians-playing-on-the-veranda-ukiyo-e-color-woodblock-triptych","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
