Hello,

Thank you for choosing Mearto for your online appraisal.

This item is a set of five Japanese woodblock prints, likely dating from the Edo period (1603-1868) to the Meiji period (1868-1912). These prints, traditionally known as ukiyo-e, were popular art forms in Japan, often depicting kabuki actors, beautiful courtesans, and landscapes. They were commonly produced by artists like Utamaro, Hiroshige, and Hokusai, among others.

The prints appear well-preserved, having been framed archivally in 1975, which suggests careful maintenance and protection from environmental factors such as humidity and light exposure that could otherwise damage the prints. The quality of framing also adds value as it indicates the owner’s commitment to preserving the artwork.
