歌川豊国「三世沢村宗十郎の大星由良之助」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

The Actor Sawamura Sojuro III as Oboshi Yuranosuke

This print of the actor Oboshi Yuranosuke belongs to a period when depictions of "large heads" (close-ups) were in vogue. Precise and detailed carving as well as an ingenious printing technique make this an outstanding piece. Note the chastened and charming countenance of the actor and the beauty of tension reproduced here.

The artist, Utagawa Toyokuni, was a pupil of Utagawa Toyoharu (1735-1814), paralleled in fame with his fellow student Toyohiro (1765or1774-1828). He was always alert to liking of the public, and was a man of ready adaptability. He often imitated, with almost excessive persistence, the styles of such senior artists as Kitao Shigemasa (1739-1820) and Torii Kiyonaga (1752-1815), and sought inspiration about color schemes from Kitagawa Utamaro (1754-1806). It might be said that his pliable attitude in art has caused his work to be under-estimated.
