Actors: Ichikawa Ebizô V as Banzui Chobei Play: Kakitsubata Tamuke no Hanakawado (杜若手向花川戸) Date: 3rd
month of 1850 (censors Mera and Murata) Theater: Kawarasaki Publisher: Tsujioka-ya Bunsuke NOTE: Two states of the print are shown. The actor bears a remarkable resemblance to
Matsumoto Kôshirô V, who died in 1838. Ichikawa Ebizô V
and Matsumoto Kôshirô V are the actors most
famously associated with the role of Banzui Chobei. Matsumoto Kôshirô V’s son, Kôshirô VI
(later Matsumoto Kinshô I), bore a strong
resemblance to his father and died late 1849, so this print may also have
been intended to honor him. I am
grateful to Robert Pryor for these images.
