About the Artwork

Ichikawa Sadanji II as Narukami Shonin glares out of this Shunsen phone case with a storm parked behind his brow. Crimson kumadori makeup claws upward from each lower lid. Plum-black brows knot above the nose. His mouth sags into a wine-dark bow of fury.

Natori Shunsen cut this okubi-e head in the 1920s, when shin-hanga printmakers dragged the kabuki actor portrait back toward the jolt of the old Edo stage. Look at the hair. Every lacquer-black strand was carved by hand into cherry wood and rubbed onto ivory paper with a baren. A teal haze stains his temples.

Narukami is the hermit monk who locked every rain dragon of Japan inside a waterfall. Drought followed. Then Princess Taema arrived with sake and a seductive tale. He forgot his vows and drank. Sadanji II returned this Kabuki Juhachiban play to the Tokyo stage in 1910, and this Japanese woodblock print keeps the moment the trick lands.

Slate gray robes jag with mustard gold. Carry the thunder in your pocket an instant before it breaks.

Origin Story

Natori Shunsen (1886–1960) was the Japanese woodblock printmaker widely hailed as the last master of kabuki yakusha-e, or actor prints. Born in Yamanashi Prefecture to a silk merchant’s family and raised in Tokyo, he trained in Nihonga painting under Kubota Beisen and Hirafuku Hyakusui. Illustrating for the Asahi Shimbun, including novels by Natsume Sōseki, sharpened his eye for the theatre’s shifting faces.

In 1916 publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō began translating his designs into shin-hanga, a partnership that culminated in the celebrated Collection of Shunsen’s Portraits (1925–1929). Here kabuki is held at its most taut: kumadori makeup flaring across a stilled face, a gaze caught between role and performer. Exhibited at the Toledo Museum of Art, his prints carried the ukiyo-e lineage of Edo into the twentieth century with rare psychological candour.
