Subject:Triptych Identification Request
Posted By: Peter C. Fri, Feb 25, 2022 IP: 2603:7080:b044:b200:

Does anyone recognize the artist of this triptych or what the words on it mean? I believe it's Japanese, but would like to have more information. Thanks in advance.

Your Japanese woodblock triptych is by Toyohara Kunichika. We'll need the help of I. Nagy or other expert for more information.

Cheers,
Stan
