Subject:Japanese woodblock print by Toyokuni 1st
Posted By: Nad Tue, Jul 22, 2008 IP: 67.189.236.129
I would appreciate the name of the kabuki actor and the date of this early 19th. century yakusha-e tate-e woodblock print.

Hello Nad,
your images aren't really the best so I'm not 100% sure whether the actor on this print is Bando Mitsugoro III. The first two kanji reads Bando and the last two could be goro.
You can compare the writing for your own if you look here: http://www.kunisada.de/actor-signatures/kabuki-artists-writing-bando.htm
