UTAGAWA School Encounter Among the Autumn Grasses double-page spread from an illustrated book Four figures are arranged on either side of the binding against a backdrop of autumn grasses (akikusa), set against a background of gradient bands evoking water and mist. Each figure is identified by a name cartouche: Yonemachi no Chogoro, Toyokichi, Oroku’s younger sister, Oito, daughter of the Kokemasuya household, and Kinkin’ya Shinjiro. The color palette is dominated by Prussian blues in gradient blocks, along with textile patterns printed in reserve—characteristic of gokan illustrations from the Tenpō to Kaei eras. Woodblock print Signed: illegible signature Period: Edo (circa 1840–1850) Dimensions: 15 x 20 cm. Beautifully preserved colors; slight patina on the paper. Slight stains. Two book pages bound together.
