AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A woodblock print reproduction of a ukiyo-e print, the original being a famous kabuki actor print by the legendary Edo-period illustrator Tōshūsai Sharaku.
Reproduced around the 1970s, large size, engraved by Kenkichi Ikeda, with folding technique by Kanjirō Satō, using mica folding. The image is taken from the jōruri play "Umekawa Chūbei," depicting Kameya Chūbei and Umekawa sharing an oil-paper umbrella, walking together in the rain. The characters' expressions are vividly portrayed, typical of Sharaku's portrait style. The background, infused with mica powder, presents a serene dark gray base with a delicate pearlescent sheen under light. Printed entirely by hand using woodblock printing, not offset printing, the lines are sharp, the colors are subdued, and the overall effect is a perfect reproduction of the original. Dimensions: Approx. 40 × 27.5 cm
