Series; Matches for Famous Places in Edo, 1867
Matches for Famous Places in Edo - Handsome kabuki portrait from an 1867 series pairing actors with famous places in Edo. Kunichika, Kuniteru II, and Yoshiiku each contributed designs to the series.

These attractive images are nicely detailed with fine line work in the hair and soft bokashi shading in the background. This series is seldom seen, and is a great choice for a kabuki collector.
