Title: Actor Sawamura Tossho II as Mizushima Samon(沢村訥升の美図嶋左門)
Series title: A Modern Water Margin(近世水滸伝)
Publisher: Iseya Kanekichi
Date: 1862
Size: 36.8 x 25.3 cm
Condition: Small wormholes and binding holes on the right, partly colour running and thinning.

This print series by Kunisada, given the deliberately vague title 'A Modern Water Margin', shows famous actors in imaginary roles loosely based on the members of a real-life group of outlaws. Their story was too close to present-day reality to be permitted as a play or printed book, but circulated in printed woodblocks. Suikoden (Water Margin) is a 14th century Chinese novel about 108 rebels and heroic bandits, very popular in Japan those days. The characters were also outlaws and brigands, seen as men of honour who would rebel against bureaucracy, a Robin-Hood-like band that made the story of a revolutionary novel with implications resenting the authority of the time. In this print, the famous kabuki actor Sawamura Tossho II poses as one of the brigands.

Die Brexit! Verzendkosten 40euro, dus dat zal wel over douanekosten gaan, Daarom zeer teleurgesteld dat bij DHL nog 27,45 douane moest worden afgerekend. Ik zal dat bedrag aan JG auction terugvragen
