Five Japanese Woodblock Prints

A single warrior figure fills the frame against a bright red ground, gripping a katana raised overhead with both hands while a large pale gray-and-white fan-shaped motif spans the upper background. He wears layered armor with a blue floral-patterned robe, striped orange, white, and blue sleeve and skirt guards, and has a stern, wide-eyed expression with dark hair; vertical columns of Japanese text and a red circular seal appear at the upper left. This woodblock print, "Five Japanese Woodblock Prints" by Toyohara Chikanobu (date unknown), is shown matted in gray and red beneath a black-and-gold frame.
