Kudanzaka Satsuki no yoru ["A night in May at Kudanzaka Hill"]

Kobayashi, Kiyochika [illustrated by].

[Japan: publisher unidentified, ca. early to mid-twentieth century?]. 

A later printing or re-carved edition of Kiyochika's illustration of a rainy night at Kudanzaka. Figures seem to disappear off the edge of the world as they descend the steps in the distance, the dim glow of their hand-lanterns reflected in puddles. A section of the margin (perhaps including the publisher's information) has been cut out. Nevertheless, a well-printed example.

One yoko-ōban nishiki-e, mounted on card. Paper mellowed. Light creases to upper margin Section of right-hand margin cut out. 24.7 x 36.3 cm; mounting measures 27 x 38.5 cm.
