Record of Kōno Chōei – New Kabuki Play at the Meijiza Theatre
Est: -
This triptych depicts a dramatic scene from the kabuki play Kōno Chōei-ki, performed at the Meijiza Theatre in Tokyo. The play tells the story of the scholar and physician Kōno Chōei (1809–1851), persecuted by the shogunate for disseminating Western science and ideas. The artist skillfully combines historical and supernatural motifs – such as the tengu mask and demonic figures – with vibrant coloring and richly patterned costumes. The scene merges theatrical pathos with a moral undertone about the conflict between knowledge and authority. From left to right, the print shows a struggle between celestial beings and humans: actor Ichikawa Kodaji as the pilgrim of the sea god Kimpira carrying a tengu mask on his back; the shrine maiden Hayase portrayed by Nakamura Naritarō; and Ichikawa Sadanji as the fox deity Inari, dressed in a magnificent kimono, red wig, and with a sweeping fox tail. A pupil of Kunisada II, Utagawa Hōsai – also known under various art names such as Baidō, Kōchōrō, Kunimasa IV, Kunisada III, Toyokuni IV or V – lived to the age of 72 and was renowned for his technical mastery and ability to emulate the late Meiji-period style of the Utagawa school, particularly that established by Kunichika.

Kunisada III Woodblock Triptych - Kabuki Scene
Est: $700 - $1,050
Utagawa Kunisada III (Japanese, 1848-1920). Three hand-colored woodblocks, Meiji period, ca. 1900. Signed with the artist's alternate name, Baido Kunimasa. A wonderful triptych of woodblock prints from Japanese ukiyo-e master Utagawa Kunisada. The subject is a scene from a kabuki play, perhaps a cherry blossom viewing party at night, the central image depicting a figure rowing the boat, with picturesque waters and seabirds in the background. The triptych is mounted under glass in an attractive red mat and black wood frame. Size (sight view): 13" L x 27.25" W (33 cm x 69.2 cm) Size (frame): 17.125" L x 31.125" W (43.5 cm x 79.1 cm) Woodblock prints were created in Japan as early as the 8th century to illustrate texts. By the 18th century Japanese woodblock techniques had evolved, and the first polychrome prints or nishiki-e were commissioned for wealthy patrons of the Edo period. This period was known for marvelous woodblock prints of female beauties, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, and courtesans of the infamous pleasure districts. In time the repertoire expanded to include romantic landscapes, flora and fauna, and dramatic historical events. Woodblocks like Utagawa Kunisada's played a major role in the West's perception of Japanese visual culture during the late 19th century when Japonism exerted a powerful influence on French Impressionists such as Degas, Manet, and Monet, Post-Impressionists including Van Gogh, even pioneering Art Nouveau artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec. About the artist: "Born in Edo as Hidehisa Takenouchi in 1848, Kunisada III was a Meiji period (1868-1912) artist best known for his actor prints. Kunisada III became the student of Toyokuni III at age of eleven. Following the death of his teacher, Kunisada III continued his career under the tutelage of Kunisada II. While he excelled in the field of yakusha-e, or 'actor prints,' Kunisada III worked on book illustrations, game boards (e-sugoroku) and in other popular Meiji period genres such as senso-e (war prints), kaika-e (modernization pictures) as well. He received the name Kunisada III in 1889, but used many different go, or 'artist names,' throughout his career. He used Kunimasa IV and Baido Hosai early in his career, followed later by Kochoro, Kunimasa, and Hosai. Late in his life he tried to use Toyokuni IV, but, as it was already claimed, he went by Toyokuni V. Kunisada III's eldest son followed in his father's professional footsteps as the printmaker Kokunimasa Utagawa."
