Kunichika - Kenreimonin - 36 Good and Evil Beauties
Kunichika - Kenreimonin - 36 Good and Evil Beauties
Toyohara Kunichika
Taira no Tokuko, later known as Kenreimon-in, was the daughter of Taira no Kiyomori and Taira no Tokiko. She was empress consort of Emperor Takakura. Tokuko was also the last Imperial survivor from the great naval battle of Dan-no-ura.
This print is from one of my favorite Kunichika series, "36 Good and Evil Beauties". The series is considered one of his best and it depicts famous women from throughout history that are considered to be good or evil in some way.
Condition: Stains and damage as shown. Interestingly backed by the thick cover of an original Edo-era album of the "36 Good and Evil Beauties". I know of no other prints from this album.
Date: 1876
Publisher: Morimoto Junzaburo.
Genre: Ukiyo-e
Medium: Woodblock Print
