Antique Gekko Ogata (1859–1920) Signed Japanese Woodblock Print – Meiji Period Ukiyo-e
A striking and evocative Japanese woodblock print by the renowned artist Gekko Ogata, dating from the Meiji period (1868–1912). This original artwork beautifully captures a moment of serene nobility, with a dignified mounted figure flanked by attendants under a canopy of delicate cherry blossoms. Gekko’s refined line work and subtle colour palette exemplify the transitional style of Meiji-era Ukiyo-e—melding traditional Japanese aesthetics with emerging Western influences.
Signed and sealed by the artist, this print features elegant calligraphy and period attire, rendered with exquisite detail. Housed in a period wooden frame and preserved under glass, it retains an authentic vintage presence. A collector’s gem, ideal for enthusiasts of Japanese art, Meiji-era culture, or antique prints.
