The actor Otani Tomoemon V playing the role of Ono no Michikaze (also read as Ono no Tofu) in the play Ono no Tofu Aoyagi Suzuri performed at the Ichimura-za Theatre, 5/1869. From a set of at least 22 prints published by Gusokuya Kahei, 1869. Pupil first of Toyohara Chikanobu (whose name he took), then of Utagawa Kunisada (among the few of Kunisada’s pupils who did not use the name of Utagawa). Produced prints of actors, sets of views, historical subjects, journalistic illustrations in the late Kunisada tradition, which reflect the declining taste of the public and the worsening color printing. Particularly known for some late okubi-e. A minor artist, but represents the last of the great ukiyo-e tradition. Ashmolean; Baltimore; British; Cincinnati; Fine (California, De Young); Musee (1), (2); Musees; Newark; Riccar; Tokyo (1); Victoria; Waseda. Condition: The art is in good condition. The paper is very thin. Please review all photos…. I had this piece up already, I removed it from the frame to show authenticity. It measures: 14 1/16″H x 9 3/8″W.
