This artwork was inspired by the kabuki play performed at Kawarazaki-za (kabuki theater) in Edo, 1850. That is a Kyogen play in which the characters are killed one after another. The fighting scene in this print is based on the real fight took place in Osaka.
Good color and impression. A small hole, folds
Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - 1865) (also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III) was the most popular, prolific and financially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan. In his own time, his reputation far exceeded that of his contemporaries, Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.
