Back reads "By Kunichika made in 1896"; Japanese stamp to front; depicting a battle scene; measures approximately 20" x 34" with bamboo style black frame and has a sight image of approximately 13-3/4" x 28". Toyohara Kunichika (30 June 1835 – 1 July 1900) was a Japanese woodblock print artist. Talented as a child, at about thirteen he became a student of Tokyo's then-leading print maker, Utagawa Kunisada. His deep appreciation and knowledge of kabuki drama led to his production primarily of ukiyo-e actor-prints, which are woodblock prints of kabuki actors and scenes from popular plays of the time.
