Description

KUNISADA. Yakusha-e. Kabuki Theater scene. Night raid.

Colored woodcut. 365x245 mm. Sign: Toyokuni ga. Publisher: Daikokuya Heikichi. Censorship: Aratame. Oval zodiacal date seal. Wood engraver: Horitake. Excellent impression with mokume-zuri, cut. Night raid depicting three armed characters. Yakusha-e, often referred to as "actor prints" in English, are Japanese woodblock prints of kabuk actors, particularly those done in the ukiyo-e style popular through the Edo period (1603-1867). Mokume-zuri is a Japanese term for woodblock prints with visible wood grain patterns.In the initial phase, from 1853 to 1857, a circular aratame seal was used along with a separate oval zodiacal date seal; again, these seals are usually directly next to each other, but occasionally they are separated. In 1858, the aratame seal was dropped, and the oval date seal appears alone.
