Bando Shuka I as the Nun Narukami, 1854

Comments - Great kabuki scene of Bando Shuka I as the nun Narukami in the play "Kumo no Uwasa Onna Narukami." She grips a wooden post with both hands as she leans forward, a sly grin on her face. Below her, a monk played by Arashi Kangoro I falls backwards, grimacing and throwing his hand out in alarm as lightning bolts flash across the dark night sky. A bold image, detailed with fine line work.

Artist - Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861)

Image Size - 14 1/4" x 9 3/4"

Condition - This print with excellent detail as shown. A few wrinkles and creases, slight toning and soiling. Please see photos for details. Good overall.
