Fuyumono ishō-zukushi ["Various winter clothes"]

Ichibaisai [Morikawa] [Utagawa], Chikashige [illustrated by].

[Edo (Tōkyō)]: Tsuji Kame [Tsunajima Kamekichi], Meiji gannen [1868].

A colourful woodblock print of patterns for winter clothing, probably designed to be cut and folded into some unknown 3D form. The artist, Utagawa Chikashige, was a pupil of Kunichika. This is probably one of the earliest works produced by Chikashige, who is usually described as being active between 1869 (one year after the publication of this print) and 1882. The date of publication is taken from the aratame-in seal. No records were traced in OCLC or major Japanese online databases.

One loose leaf, complete. Slight browning, a few light creases, and one or two small marks. 37 x 24.5 cm
