解説 |
Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III), Utagawa Hiroshige 1854 The two figures in this picture are Ju-bei and Oyone, both of whom appear in “Iga-goe Dochu Sugoroku (Revenge Sought Across the Path of Iga)”, a play based on an actual event known as “Iga-goe no Adauchi” performed in both a Japanese puppet and Kabuki theaters. This event is known as one of the three great acts of revenge, the other two being Chushingura and Soga no Adauchi. This picture shows Jubei depicted in a way that suggests a likeness to third generation-Bando Mitsugoro. Mount Fuji can be seen in the inset together with the mountains around Numazu Station and what appears to be Senbon Matsubara, or Senbon Matsubara Pine Forest. Senbon Matsubara is the name of a stretch of land planted with pine trees along the coast to the south of Numazu Castle, which can be seen on the far right of the picture. |
