Subject:unidentified kabuki actor
Posted By: Jacob Mon, May 23, 2016 IP: 86.120.26.60
Hello,

I believe this is a print by Kunisada/Toyokuni III. Probably one out of a triptych. I wonder if someone can read the two inscriptions from the upper-left part. I hope to find out the actors name. Thank you very much !

The artist is Utagawa Yoshitora (act. c. 1836-82).
The actor is Sawamura Tanosuke III (1845-78) in the role of Seigen bikuni (the nun Seigen) in the play 'Shirokure Nai Sakura no goshozome', performed at the Nakamura-za in Edo, 3rd month 1863.

The artist is Yoshitora (active 1850 - 1880). I can't see the seal well enough to date it. The actor is Sawamura Tanosuke III.

Cheers,
Stan
