Battaglia di Dan-no-Ura (壇之浦大合戦圖) - Utagawa Yoshikazu 歌川芳員 (act ca

Extraordinary Meiji-era Japanese triptych (circa 1880–1890), made on very fine fabric with a polychrome woodblock print technique. Work attributed to Utagawa Yoshikazu 歌川芳員 (active ca. 1850–1870) of the renowned Utagawa school, with authentic signature reported in the cartouches. The subject is the Battle of Dan-no-Ura (壇之浦大合戦圖), one of the most famous naval engagements in Japanese history, the centerpiece of the Genpei War (1185). The towering waves, samurai in armor, clan banners, and dramatic movement render this triptych a highly scenographic piece, rare to find complete. The three panels measure 24×19 cm each, for a total assembled size of 24×57 cm. Condition is aged, with signs of wear, small tears, and a natural separation between the sheets: elements that attest to the authenticity and age of the artifact. Ideal for collectors of Japanese art, ukiyo-e, Samurai history, and Utagawa iconography. Also perfect as a piece to frame. A rare work in this format and with such a sought-after subject.
