A vertical double oban showing a woman holding a ruler and offering a small bolt of cloth with the other hand. From a set Atsurae ori jisei konomi, “Fabrics to Order in Current Taste.” Published by Yamashiroya Jinbei, c 1843-7. A rare design from a rare set, and even rarer to find in this condition as most examples have been mounted and consequently damaged from being hung.

Very fine impression. Fine colour and condition. Signed Oju Kunisada aratame Nidai Toyokuni ga.
