Subject Matter
This image portrays Ichikawa Ichizô III. He was a promising 19th century tachiyaku actor. Quite tall, Ichikawa Ichizô III was able to perform a wide range of roles, not only as a tachiyaku, but also as a katakiyaku or an onnagata. His field of excellence was jitsugoto. He died at a young age, during his early 30s, and would have taken the name of Ichikawa Ebijûrô, to honor the memory of his grandfather, had he lived.This print is part of a set of five.
