 Yokkaichi: Gaku no Kosan, from the series “Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Highway”

解説かいせつ

 This print depicts Gaku no Kosan, a character from the genre of kabuki plays known as Kosan Kingorō-mono. This genre of plays is based on true events that took place during the Genroku period (1688-1704), in which Kosan, a bath maiden from Osaka and kabuki actor Kanaya Kingorō committed double suicide. The first play of Kosan Kingorō-mono was a Bunraku (puppet play) shown in 1702 at Osaka. 　　　　　　Although Kosan Kingorō-mon plays were also produced in Edo starting from 1811, most only borrowed the names for the characters and the stories were far off from true events. At the time of publication, the actor portraying Kosan in this print, Iwai Hanshirō VI had passed away.
