Onoe Kikugorō V as Daiba no Jinzō and Ichikawa Sadanji I as Itamiya Jubei

Arts of Asia

1883

Toyohara Kunichika
Japanese, 1835-1900

As Daiba no Jinzō (on the right) spies on his adversary Itamiya Jūbei in the foreground of this image, the center is occupied by distant trees and mountains illuminated by a faint glow. Unusually, this scene is set at dusk: the sun has just set and the moon is rising but the stars are not yet visible.
