Subject:Re: kunichika print
Posted By: Guy Tue, Jan 27, 2026 From a series of five prints 'Mitate gogyô (no) uchi' (見立五行内 - Analogy to the Five Elements), published in 1866 by Sanoya Tomigorô. The depicted actor is Ichimura Kakitsu IV (Onoe Kikugorô V, 1844-1903) in the role of Ômaru. Because this is a 'mitate' series, there is probably no direct link to a kabuki play performed at that time although the role of Ômaru is associated with the play 'Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami'. Also, the print refers probably to the 2nd Element 'Water' indicated by the depiction of a river.
