Subject:Utagawa Kunimasu kabuki actor
Posted By: Renato Sat, Nov 09, 2024 IP: 177.140.12.187

No abuse intended here since I have just sent another question a couple of weeks ago. But I think this will be relatively easy for you guys to solve.

I am trying to figure out who the actor is in this ukiyo-e from 国升."

Thank you in advance.

Dear I.Nagy,
I appretiated you take your time to find this actors name. Maybe he could be some less known personality from Edo period.

Thank you. I am glad to know the transcription of his name, anyway.
A hug from Brazil

Correction,
From the beginning, I had some doubts about the non conventional cursive style of the first character. Then I had a flash of inspiration as I looked at it several times carefully.
This is the name of a character from the Nanso Satomi Hakkenden (南総里見八犬傳 ‐The Chronicles of the Eight Dog Heroes of the Satomi Clan) and it reads,
金鞠大亮 Kanamari Daisuke
(Daisuke is written sometimes 大助 or 大輔)

With regards,
I.Nagy

You are the best!
A hug from Brazil

The actor is Jitsukawa Enzaburô I in the role of Kanemari Daisuke. Kabuki play: 'Hana no Ani Tsubomi no Yatsufusa'. Date is 1848 but no specific month of the performance in Osaka is given.
