Item Details
Description

Scene is of 3 ladies, 1 kneeling, and the other 2 attending to her with tea. In Utagawa's actor prints, one sees the real subject; but his prints merely portrayed what he saw, unlike Sharaku who exaggerated those aspects he saw as the most key. It is said of Toyokuni's prints that they recreate exactly what one would see on stage; they show actors acting, not merely just pictures of actors. Together, these characteristics made Toyokuni's prints far more popular among theatre-goers than Sharaku's,
Publisher: Nishimuraya Yohachi was one of the leading publishers of woodblock prints in late 18th Japan. He founded the Nishimuraya Yohachi publishing house, also known as Nishiyo which operated in Nihonbashi's Bakuroch? Nich?me under the shop name Eijud?. Size 21" x 15.5", viewable 14.5" x 9.5".
