Απολύτως αυθεντικό ξύλινο εκτύπωμα του Utagawa Kuniyoshi με θέμα έναν street-knight του Edo, περίπου 1848–1850, πολυχρωμο nishiki-e, 36 × 24 cm, σε άριστη κατάσταση.
Περιγραφή από τον πωλητή
Artist: Utagawa Kuniyoshi (歌川国芳, 1797–1861)
Title: Fukami Jūzaemon — A Street-Knight of Edo
Series: Date otoko kishō kurabe (達男気性競) — "A Comparison of the Spirit of Able Men"; Schaap, Beauty and Violence, no. 16
Date: c. 1848–1850
Technique: Woodblock print (mokuhanga), polychrome (nishiki-e)
Format: Ōban tate-e — approx. 36 × 24 cm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPRESSION & COLOUR: Excellent. A strong, crisp impression with well-preserved keyblock detail in the face, the standing white collar, and the dense floral patterning of the robes. Colours are fresh and well-balanced.
PAPER & CONDITION: Excellent. A faint centre fold, barely visible and consistent with original album mounting, and some minor soiling in the open sky at the top. Otherwise clean and sound, with light, even toning natural to a print of this age.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Scene — Swagger in Silk
Kuniyoshi gives us the otokodate in three-quarter length, turning sharply to glare past his own shoulder with the coiled, watchful presence of the kabuki street-knight. The costume is sumptuous: a grey-mauve robe scattered with white foliage, indigo chrysanthemum blossoms massed at the shoulders, a flash of vermilion under-robe at the breast, and a crisp white standing collar — a long sword worn at the hip. Above him, in the open sky, runs a short kyōka verse.
There is almost no setting: only two soft bokashi bands — pale blue across the top, mossy green along the foot — frame the figure, throwing the heavy patterning of the robes into full relief. It is a portrait built entirely on costume, posture, and expression, exactly the qualities that made the otokodate such a favourite of the Edo stage.
THE SERIES
Date otoko kishō kurabe ("A Comparison of the Spirit of Able Men") is a set of five ōban prints, each a three-quarter-length portrait of a celebrated otokodate — the chivalrous commoners, or "street-knights," idolised on the Edo stage — with a kyōka poem inscribed above. Designed for the publisher Iseya Ichibei around 1848–50, the series belongs to the years after the Tenpō Reforms, when the open portrayal of named living actors was forbidden. Kuniyoshi answered the ban with these gorgeously costumed "character" portraits, whose faces nonetheless carry the unmistakable presence of the actors who played them. An impression of another sheet from this series is held in the British Museum; the series is catalogued in Schaap, Beauty and Violence (no. 16).
