A striking Meiji-period woodblock print by Toyohara Kunichika capturing Nakamura Fukusuke in the celebrated Sanbaso role.
This omocha-e (toy print) exemplifies the artist's mastery of Kabuki portraiture, featuring the interactive design where wigs could be affixed to the actor's head—a playful innovation that rendered many examples fragile and scarce.
Kunichika's refined linework and subtle color palette convey both theatrical grandeur and intimate character study.
Dated 1899, this 37 × 25 cm impression represents a pivotal moment in Japanese theatre documentation, bridging traditional ukiyo-e aesthetics with Meiji modernism.
