Leaflet slightly bumped at the lower edge in the fold, art print very good. Text in Japanese and English. - 0-oban Benizurie - (Important Art Object) The term "strolling minstrels" carries overtones of pathos and refers to wandering street musicians who begged from door to door, hiding their faces with parasol-like straw hats. Kabuki actors in the mid-18th century made a hit with contemporary theatrical fans by adapting the minstrel costume to heighten the pathetic mood of certain stage scenes. Crests identify the actor with the bowed instrument as Onoe Kikugord and the shamisen player as Nakamura Kiyosaburo. These two actors performed together at the Ichimura-za in Kayou Kami Chidori Soga (Soga Paying Love Visits like the Plover) in January, 1750, with Kikugoro in the role of Kichiza and Kiyosaburo as Yaoya Oshichi. Evidently the scene depicts a lovers' flight in the disguise of strolling minstrels. This master design by Toyonobu (1711-1785), with its rose-and- green color harmony in perfect preservation, is one of the great works remaining from the early period of the ukiyoe-print art.
