Date:1820-30s

Description:A kabuki scene from the play, "Kataki-uchi Sôzen-ji Baba". Here, Ichikawa Ebijûrô (left) is in the role of the villain Ninja warrior Denpachi. He is parrying the lance attack by Shundô Kihachirô (played by Ichikawa Danzô) in a pine forest. - The Osaka - Kyoto - Kobe area of Japan was called 'Kamigata' in the Edo period. The region had a much smaller population than the area around Edo (Toyko). The Ukiyo-e artists in Kamigata developed a unique style of their own, especially in the 'yakusha-e' (actor prints) style. The production numbers of these prints were much smaller and the quality of printing generally better than those of kabuki prints produced in Edo. - Utagawa KUNIHIRO was a woodblock prints artist and worked both, in Edo and Ôsaka.
