    Scene title

    The Fifty-three Stations: The Haunted Okazaki Station
    (Gojūsan tsugi no uchi – Okazaki shuku no yōkai)

    Performance

    尾上梅寿一代噺
    (Onoe Kikugorō Ichidai Banashi)

    — Performance presented at the Ichimura-za (市村座) theater in Edo, in July 1847 (Kōka 4 era), 7th month.
    An exceptional kabuki program tracing the career of actor Onoe Kikugorō III, conceived as a series of significant scenes blending drama, emotion, and spectacular effects.

    Actor and character depicted

    Actor: Fujikawa Kayû III (三代目 藤川花友)
    Character: Kashiwagi (柏木)

    Subject

    This print depicts a night scene full of mystery and dramatic tension, typical of late Edo period kabuki theater.
    The actor playing a woman (onnagata) is wrapped in a blanket, and his fear of the presence of a ghost (yōkai) in the room can be felt. The moon, the stylized decor, and the nocturnal atmosphere enhance the scene.

    Kunisada emphasizes the theatrical atmosphere rather than a precise action, capturing the essence of a kabuki performance where fantasy (yōkai) and suggested emotion play a central role.

    Condition

    Original Edo period print, fair condition with several washi paper repairs.

    ➕ Legible impression with beautiful contrasts, clear seals and signatures
    ➕ Fine details visible in the lines and patterns
    ➕ Undoubled old Japanese washi paper

    ➖ Presence of several repairs with washi, paper thinned in places and wear on the edges
    ➖ Natural patina and oxidation of the paper

    The verso shows the texture of the washi paper and traces of old use, attesting to the authenticity of the work.

    🦝 Our opinion

    A very nice print, full of history and depicting an Onnagata actor. Perfect for those who wish to acquire a true original Edo era Ukiyo-e by a great master at an attractive price, due to its repairs (almost invisible on the front!).
