Rori Hakucho Chojun - Vintage Wood Block Print Poster

A magnificent Japanese warrior with a sword in his mouth, under a hail of arrows.

Fine Art reproduction Poster of Rori Hakucho Chojun, created around 1926 - 1830 by Utagawa Kuniyoshi.

The Japanese expression ukiyo-e, literally “pictures of the floating world,” refers to a genre of Japanese artwork that thrived in the Edo period (1600–1868).

Ukiyo-e captured the short-lived dynamics of contemporary Japanese urban life. The subjects were wide ranging, from the portrayal of courtesans and actors to classical literature; the creative and technical details of these prints show extraordinary sophistication.

This aizuri-e (Indigo-Printed Image) is a panel from a triptych [an image or relief carving on three panels]. Indigo Blue pigment shades were popular in the 1830s, Prussian Blue pigment was imported from the Netherlands. This print was created before or during the early years of the Tenpō Reforms of 1841-1843, when there were government restrictions and censored many prints. The circle censor’s stamp on the lower Right points out that the print was officially censored in advance by the printers before circulation.
