About the Item

Portrait of the actor Kawarazaki Gonjuro and curtain is an original artwork realized in 1864 by Toyohara Kunichika (30 June 1835 – 1 July 1900) Oban. Bust portrait of the actor Kawarazaki Gonjuro in front of the brown theatre curtain with advertisement for the theatre performances. Signed: Kunichika ga. Publisher: Tsujiokaya Bunsuke. Censored by Aratame. Excellent impression with blind printing and very fine visible vertical wood grain in the brown curtain and haori, glossy black print (collar), a little bit creased. Toyohara Kunichika (30 June 1835 – 1 July 1900) was a ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock print artist. Talented as a child, at about thirteen he became a student of Tokyo's then-leading print maker, Utagawa Kunisada. His deep appreciation and knowledge of kabuki drama led to his production primarily of yakusha-e, which are woodblock prints of kabuki actors and scenes from popular plays of the time.
