Nakamura Kanjaku II died at the age of 28. As was the custom he was given a posthumous Buddhist name or hōmyō. In Japanese it is 歌竹翫旭日雀倍士. (As yet I am unable to give the English transliteration.)
There is another example of this print in the collection of Waseda University.
That is about the extent of what I know of this actor. When or if I can find more information I will add it to this page or somewhere else in this web site. |
