Kabuki play: "Takenoko Hori" (Digging the young bamboo) From: 'The seven Variations of the Iroha' - Toyokuni III Utagawa (1786-1864) - Japan - Edo Periode (1600-1868)

Artist: Toyokuni III Utagawa (1786-1864) Title: Kabuki play, Takenoko Hori (Digging the young bamboo) Series title: The seven Variations of the Iroha Publisher: Fujiokaya Keijiro Date: c. 1856 Size: 36.5 x 24.0 cm Condition report: Trimmed, wormhole, paper residue on the back, minor stain due to old glue on the right. Iroha is a kana ordering based on a poem which contains each kana (Japanese syllabary) used once. Put in order, the syllables form a poem that is generally attributed to the founder of the Shingon Esoteric sect of Buddhism in Japan, monk Kukai. The poem was frequently used as an ordering of the kana until the Meiji era reforms in the 19th century, just like 'a, b, c...' in English. In this series, each print is given a different kana (syllable). Beautifully coloured, the series has a red cartouche at the top right which shows a demon with a wide open mouth that spells the title. On the left, a folding screen carries the title of each print.
