Catalog note / 解説
Kunimasa depicts the actor in the play, Seiwa Nidai Öyose Genji, performed in 1796 at the Edo Miyako-za Theater. It is considered by some to be the finest print design produced by this artist. (from Daring Moves Exhibition, 8/1/06-) Kunimasa depicts the actor in the play Seiwa Nidai Öyose Genji, performed in 1796 at the Miyako-za theater in Edo. The actor is seen in dramatically rendered profile, juxtaposed by bold linear patterning in the textile design on the lower right. Many regard this print as one of Kunimasa's greatest designs.
