Description:
Kabuki actor Matsumoto Koshiro V, as the character Hige no Ikyu in the play Sukeroku Yukari no Edo-zakura. Matsumoto Koshiro is the stage name of a line of kabuki actors in Japan who used the same name from the first in 1716 and still in use today by Matsumoto Koshiro IX . Most of these were blood relatives, though some were adopted into the family. The design of the Matsumoto family mon (emblem) is four flowers arranged in a diamond shape, and is called yotsu-hana-bishi.
From the series Rien Kyokaku-den, (Story of a chivalrous man in the theatrical world)
Biography:
Kunisada Toyokuni III (1786 – 1864)
This is one of the signatures used by Kunisada from 1844 until he retired in 1845. During this time he produced many images using colours and styles that were extremely popular with general public and moving away from the more mellow styles.
