Annals of the Náprstek Museum | 2024/45/2

The Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures keeps an extensive collection of Japanese woodblock prints ukiyo-e. The collection includes also the prints by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861), one of the late Edo masters of ukiyo-e, especially famous for his warrior prints musha-e. The article focuses on only a part of Kuniyoshi’s work – his triptychs. During his life Kuniyoshi designed more than 300 triptychs, the Náprstek Museum keeps 21 of them. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of prints in the collection, a description of their provenance, and an analysis of the motifs depicted on them.
