説明:
Both of these prints depict the famous actor Ichikawa Danj�r� V (1741-1806). Although shown portraying different theatrical roles, he is readily recognizable by his prominent nose and strong presence. In the print on the right, he plays �boshi Yuranosuke, the leader of forty-seven samurai who were determined to avenge the death of their lord in the play Kanadehon ch�shingura. Shunsh�'s print shows him with a clenched jaw, suggesting his unshakable determination to carry out the vendetta. Shun'ei's depiction of Danj�r� V (left) shows him in an unusual costume with dark, bumpy skin, and claws for toes and fingers, suggesting a supernatural transformation. While the play is not clearly identified, Danj�r�'s glowering expression indicates the ferociousness he brought to the role.
