  4. Kitagawa Utamaro - Portrait of Tomimoto Toyohina

    in Other Japanese Arts

    Posted

    Hello dear forum members! 

    A few days ago in one antiqe shop I found "The Lady Tomimoto Toyohina Reading a Letter" by Kitagawa Utamaro. I believe that the print is original, not a reprint later version. The condition is not perfect and has some issues, but it's a rare one. The print was a gift from a Japanese  diplomat to Bulgarian diplomat in 1979,  аnd there is a dedication written with a pencil on cardboard in Bulgarian language. This particular print it's in collection of Metropolitan Museum of Art and Ota memorial museum of art.

    Any guesses about authenticity and value?

     

    Best regards,

    Hello gentlemen, 

     

    I'd be glad if someone help me with the translation of this wakizashi mei. It's just pop-up from one  kitchen knives dealer in my country. I think it's Shinto, Kanbun. It have decent polish and new shirasaya and habaki but no paper, and its probably gimei, sinse comes from Japan just few days ago.

    Hello

     


    First of all thanks for assistance. Blade is out of polish and can't see any activity. Have bo-hi from both sides and deep sori. Тhe kissaki is broken, but I don't think boshi is affected. Generally is in very bad shape. Tsuba is very nice silver and i want to buy the blade

    just because tsuba but price of 1000 € is very high. I will stay away from this.
