In Japanese the phrase for \"unrivalled\" literally means that there is no enemy on the right, which plays against the name of the famous left-handed sculptor Hidari (meaning \"left\") Jingorô. In this triptych, Kuniyoshi may be presenting himself as Jingorô because the sculptor, shown seated in the center panel, has the artist's identifying seals on his robe and cushion. The cat in the scene is also a reference to Kuniyoshi. In addition, the sculptures surrounding him are thought to bear the faces of well-known Kabuki actors, some of whom Kuniyoshi depicted in his other prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Condition as shown, stains, tears and damage.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.loc.gov\/pictures\/resource\/jpd.02639\/\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mie Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43602388975694,"sku":"MG1607","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/7602\/2094\/files\/Untitled-1copy_eb508cef-8ab8-4a85-8eb9-d60c6e1ffb77.jpg?v=1775235327","url":"https:\/\/miegallery.com\/products\/mg1607-kuniyoshi-incomparable-hidari-jingoro-japanese-woodblock-print","provider":"Mie Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
