Kunisada - Sawamura Tanosuke III

Kunisada - Sawamura Tanosuke III

Utagawa Kunisada 

The actor: Sawamura Tanosuke III in the role of: Kanaya Iroha (仮名屋内いろは) in the play: Kutsuwa no oto tazuna no Somewake. From a series of half-length actor portraits with poem. The still-lifes in the top of the prints were designed by Gengyo Miyagi (in most cases).

Almost all of the prints are based on actual performances of the years 1861 and 1862; few of them seem to be "mitate" prints, meaning that the actors in the depicted roles are imagined and not really performed in a specific play.

Date: 1861

Publisher: Kagiya Shōbei

Condition: Very good color and condition, backed on thin Edo-era paper. Minor glue residue on top corners on back. Embossing on collar.

Genre: Ukiyo-e

Medium: Woodblock Print

  • Dear Mr. Richard, opening the package and seeing the incredible bright colours and ornamental abundance of Yoshitoshi's diptych, it was just as printed today! It will be a pleasure to get more of your fine selected prints.
