Note the dancing cat at his feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole triptych shows Kuniyoshi in the center panel and Ōtsu characters parading behind him. Kuniyoshi is famous for not showing his face, hence the flying paper obscuring it. This print features many characters typically depicted in Ōtsu-e works, such as oni (goblins) and figures from Kabuki plays. It's as if the characters he painted have come to life. The composition also shows Kuniyoshi's attempt to evade edicts forbidding the depiction of Kabuki actors, Kuniyoshi substituted the faces of famous performers for the Ōtsu-e characters’ faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oban (37.5 x 25.8 cm) only 1 sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1848\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good color, repairs can be seen on the back of the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMinatoya Kohei 湊屋小兵衛\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukiyo-e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woodblock Print\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mie Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43208485077070,"sku":"MG1382","price":221.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/7602\/2094\/files\/mg1382-Kuniyoshi-OtsuPicturesfortheTimes-japanese-woodblock-print.jpg?v=1764971084","url":"https:\/\/miegallery.com\/en-de\/products\/mg1382-kuniyoshi-otsu-pictures-for-the-times-japanese-woodblock-print","provider":"Mie Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
