Ichikawa Danjuro IX as Sogoro departing his village - 1883 - Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900) - Japan - Late Edo period
Kabuki play: Self-Sacrificing Man Sogoro
Venue: (Edo)
Signature: Toyohara Kunichika hitsu with toshidama seal
Publisher: Izawa Kikutarō
Blockcutter: Matsumisha
Slightly soiled, trimmed and backed
On the left is Sogoro wearing a peasant straw hat and sedge coat, struggling through a snowstorm. In the background a building has two statue-like figures similar to those outside some Buddhist temples. On the right of the scene Sogoro’s wife and three children weep and one child pulls at Sogoro's clothing. The two incidents in this print are separated by a jagged zig-zag diagonal line isolating the flat red background of an interior space from a more open detailed snowy landscape outside.
