Antique late Edo early Meiji Japanese woodblock print diptych – bijinga

Antique original Japanese woodblock print diptych with hand-applied color. The composition depicts two female figures in a landscape setting typical of bijinga. Color is applied manually over the printed line, indicating an early hand-coloring practice.

Attributed to the Utagawa school. Likely produced during the transition from the late Edo to early Meiji period.

The work can be classified as early hand-colored ukiyo-e and considered a transition period piece, reflecting changes in production and aesthetic approach of the time.
