Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861) Series of Scribbles on a Warehouse Wall (Nitakaragura kabe no mudagaki) Caricatures of actors: Ichikawa Danjūrō VIII, Nakayama Bungorō II, Ichikawa Kuzō II, Onoe Kikujirō II (?), Iwai Kumesaburō III, Onoe Tamizō II This work reflects Kuniyoshi’s rebellious spirit and sense of humor. By transforming Kabuki idols into street “scribbles” to evade the censorship of the Tenpō Reforms, the artist created one of the earliest examples of popular caricature. A historic piece for its political audacity and graphic modernity. Woodblock print Publisher: Ibaya Senzaburo Period: circa 1848 Format: Oban tate-e Trimmed print. Colors well preserved. Wear and soiling, missing sections, creases; mounted on old paper. Provenance: Manoir du Vally, Guingamp.
