Beauty in a Rundown House. Kunichika (1835 - 1900). Japanese Woodblock print. Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a woman kneeling inside a rather rundown house, tilting her head and with one hand resting on a broken wooden pillar. The wall behind her has a large hole in it, and a robe is draped over a paper lantern hanging in the window. Her kimono is beautiful. Image Size - 9 5/8" x 14 1/8"
