Message Nels, The actor is Nakamura Shikan IV (中村芝翫,1831-99) in the role of Benikan (べにか) in the play ‘Gogatsu nobori beni no akebono’ (五月幟紅曙 – ‘The dawn of the scarlet Boy’s Festival banners’?), performed at the Morita-za in Edo, 4th month 1864. The title in the cartouche reads ‘Jôruri shosagoto’ (浄るり所作事). Jôruri is is narrative music using the shamisen, used during a kabuki dance (shosagato). Your print is the right panel of a diptych. The publisher is Iseya Tôkichi. Guy. Link :Full dptych Post a Response |
