Description
Angry Husband, 1857
Handsome kabuki scene of a husband discovering his wife entertaining a guest. He angrily raises an axe above his head as he glares at the beauty. He steps on the end of her black obi, pulling her off balance, while grabbing the end of a sash held by a cowering man at right. The man kneels on the floor behind a low folding screen covered with woodblock prints, hiding behind his kimono sleeve, an overturned tobacco set on the floor nearby. From left, the actors are Onoe Kikugoro as Yoshizo's wife Osoyo, Bando Kamezo as Yoshizo, and Bando Hikosaburo as Ameya Jirosan. Wonderful detail in the expressive figures and household setting and furnishings. An interesting subject.
