Item Description
The image depicts a woman in profile but is actually a bunraku puppet. "Bunraku is an Edo period art form that creates theater with dolls that are half-life size, and are manipulated by three performers. The expertise of the puppeteers and the puppet-makers create performances that are surprisingly moving and emotional."
The print depicts the female in profile with her dark hair up and in an elaborate, polychrome kimono. There are strong wood grain textural elements to the background with the artist signature and seal in lower left, in plate.
The artist originally created the image in 1960.
