KŌCHŌRŌ HŌSAI

香朝楼豊斎

The last character is not exactly the same as that of the print, but it is what Roberts lists.

If I can find the exact kanji later I will change it.

1848-1920

Actors: We'll get back to you

Ichikawa Kodanji V (市川小團治) on the right

Signature: Koōhōrō Hōsai hitsu

(but in Japanese, of course)

Size:

 Date: Later!

 Condition:

Great color. Some soiling - I say this about almost every print.

Slight red stain transfer in the face in the roundel in the left hand panel.

Creased. No, I mean really, really creased. Not casually creased. Not incidentally creased.

I mean, this is almost professionally creased except there really isn't such a thing, but if there was this would be a prime example.

And more.... Later.

NO LONGER  AVAILABLE!
