Accession to the name Suzuki Banri III
Catalog note / 解説
This surimono - or print commemorating a poetry gathering - celebrates the accession to the name (<i>shûmei</i>) Suzuki Banri III. The Suzuki Banri troupe performed a type of <i>nagauta</i> singing that was popular in Edo (present-day Tokyo) in the Kyoto-Osaka region from the 1780s to the 1840s. <i>Nagauta</i> is an important genre of song used in kabuki and kabuki-style dance. Suzuki Banri II (1775-1819) died relatively young, and the auspicious image of cranes and pine on the sea shore on this print may have been a wish for better fortune for his successor, Banri III. Materials: Colour print from wood blocks
