Description

English: "Theatre Curtain of the Shintomi－za, with an Impromptu Sketch Monsters." ("Shintomiza Youkai Pull Curtain"). Made by Kawanabe Kyousai in 1880. Kanagaki Robun, a playwright at the end of the Edo period and the Meiji era, presented the curtain to Shintomiza, a theater that represented Tokyo in the early Meiji period. On June 30, 1880 (Meiji 13), Kyosai, a friend of Robun, completed the work in four hours while enjoying sake. The yōkai, modeled after popular actors such as Ichikawa Danjuro IX and Onoe Kikugoro V, who were representatives of the Kabuki world at the time, are drawn out of their kuzu baskets and rushing out into the audience at the Shintomiza Theater. ing. It is very interesting both as a work by Kyosai, a painter full of individuality, and as a rare example of a curtain that has been preserved.

日本語: 河鍋暁斎画新富座妖怪引幕 (かわなべきょうさいがしんとみざようかいひきまく)。幕末明治の戯作者仮名垣魯文（かながきろぶん）が、明治前期に東京を代表する劇場であった新富座に贈った引幕。明治13年（1880）6月30日に、魯文の友人である暁斎が、酒を楽しみつつ4時間で書き上げたという。当時の歌舞伎界を代表する九代目市川団十郎、五代目尾上菊五郎をはじめとする人気役者たちをモデルとした妖怪が、葛籠からぞろぞろと飛び出して新富座の客席へと繰り出す趣向が描かれている。個性溢れる絵師暁斎の作品としても、引幕が保存された稀有な例としても、非常に興味深い。
