Posted By: Horst Graebner Sat, Jul 04, 2009 the print is the right sheet of a kabuki triptych. Signed "Toyokuni ga" (= Kunisada I). Shown are Nakamura Tsuruzo I and Ichikawa Ichizo III (from left) as Sato nyudo Saigyo and kaja Yoshitaka in the play'Aioi Genji takasago no matsu', performed at the Morita theatre, date 2/1861, publisher Yamamotoya Heikichi, carver seal: hori Chō. |

Posted By: Andrea Rosen Thu, Sep 01, 2016 Does anyone know about the content of this play "Aioi Genji takasago no matsu"? I have a triptych of Kunisada I/Toyokuni III prints that depict the same performance, and have seen others online, but haven't found a synopsis of the play. From the image in our prints, something disturbing is going on! There's a woman tied to a tree, forced to watch another woman seduce a man with her koto playing. |

Posted By: Andrea R. Wed, Sep 07, 2016 Thanks for rec! Haven't found it on that site, unless it goes by a slightly different name - closest was "Keisei Takasago no Matsu", performed Ôsaka 1807/01; only play listed for that same performance date, 1861/02, is a play about mochi makers. |
