In front of these borrowed scenes he depicted living and dead actors in scenes from plays that sometimes relate to the landscape or station depicted in the background. The series was an instant success: songs comparing Kunisada to great culinary delicacies and calling him the \"Flower of Edo\" were composed in his honour. Other series followed, notably one on the same theme set against Kisokaido Road backgrounds. The prohibition on naming actors meant that the roles only were identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print illustrates a role from the kabuki play, Hakone Reigen no Adauchi. The actor here is Morita Kanya XI playing the role of the vengeful Iinuma Katsugoro. The play tells the story of Hatsuhana and her husband Katsugoro. Katsugoro’s brother has been killed by the arch-villain Sato Gosuke. They decide to seek vengeance but Katsugoro falls sick on the road and loses the use of his legs. Hatsuhana pulls him the remainder of the way in the homemade cart. They confront Gosuke who has also taken Hatsuhana’s mother as hostage. Unable to fight, Katsugoro is ridiculed by the evil Gosuke. Katsugoro sees his wife praying for a miracle at waterfall shrine nearby but the following morning discovers that she has been beheaded by Gosuke (along with her mother) for resisting his advances. Katsugoro, miraculously restored to health, realises it was his wife’s ghost he saw praying at the waterfall, constant even in death.

On the west side of the Sumida River were 48 brigades named for the symbols of the kana syllabary and grouped into 8 numbered groups (1 to 10, minus the bad-luck numbers 4 and 7). On the east side of the river, brigades were numbered and assigned to directional groups. Outlying districts were covered by special brigades, here designated \"extra\" (bangai). Each title gives the name or number of a brigade, its group, and its district, followed by the kabuki scene chosen to match it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hasegawa Settei\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Katôya Iwazô (Seibei) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood color, not backed, repairs on back as shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1863 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukiyo-e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehttps:\/\/collections.mfa.org\/objects\/476478\/\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mie Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41984355958862,"sku":"MG0888","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/7602\/2094\/files\/mg0888-Kunisada-WaBrigade-japanese-woodblock-print.jpg?v=1730659042"},{"product_id":"mg0948-kunisada-nakamura-shikan-iv-and-young-mouse-japanese-woodblock-print","title":"Kunisada - Nakamura Shikan IV and Young Mouse","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003eUtagawa Kunisada\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unusual Kunisada print caught my eye due to the flirty glance between the Kabuki Actor Nakamura Shikan IV and the large cartoony mouse in the background.
