Original Description
The woodblock print Shinagawa. Halbportrat Des Schauspielers Matsumoto Koshiro V In Der Rolle Des Banzui Chobei by Gototei Kunisada is a captivating work from Japan's Edo period, blending the worlds of kabuki theater and ukiyo-e artistry. Against a dreamy twilight backdrop of sailboats gliding across Shinagawa Bay, the actor Matsumoto Koshiro V strikes a dramatic pose as the folk hero Banzui Chobei, his intense gaze and elaborate costume radiating theatrical energy. Kunisada masterfully employs the traditional nigao-e (likeness picture) style, exaggerating facial expressions while maintaining recognizability – a hallmark of his actor prints that made him Utagawa Toyokuni III’s successor. This 19th-century piece exemplifies the mitate-e (parody picture) tradition, where contemporary figures reenact historical or fictional scenes, showcasing ukiyo-e’s role in Edo’s pop culture. As one of Kunisada’s yakusha-e (actor prints), it holds significance in documenting kabuki’s golden age while demonstrating the artist’s innovative compositional balance between bold foreground figures and delicate landscape elements.
For modern spaces, this print’s deep indigos and warm ochres would enrich a study or lounge with contemplative sophistication. Frame it in a slim black lacquer border to honor its Edo roots while allowing the gradient sunset sky to dominate visually. Ideal for placement above a mid-century teak console or paired with woven tansu chests, its vertical ōban size (approx. 14×9 inches) suits narrow walls in entryways or beside windows where natural light amplifies the metallic mica pigments often used in Kunisada’s works. In offices, position it adjacent to minimalist charcoal furniture to let the dynamic kabuki expression become the focal point; the ships’ horizontal movement subtly enlarges smaller rooms. For color continuity, incorporate navy kumiko room dividers or persimmon-dyed textiles that echo the actor’s fiery robe, creating dialogues between traditional and contemporary Japandi aesthetics.
