Kabuki Actor Kumadori - New Year Asakusa Kabuki 2003 (Heisei 15)
Please comment before purchasing, as this item is listed elsewhere as well.
This is a kumadori (traditional Kabuki face paint) from the 2003 (Heisei 15) New Year Asakusa Kabuki performance, specifically from the Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami play, Kuruma Biki (Evening Performance).
I received this directly from the actor's family after the performance.
Some actors have since changed their stage names after succeeding to new roles. (At the time, it was Torasan [male tiger] who is now the 6th generation Danjuro Ichikawa).
At the time, Shichinosuke Nakamura was only 19 years old.
The kumadori is painted on bleached silk, and each kumadori was stored with thin paper in between to prevent color or oil transfer. Therefore, there are no signs of color or oil transfer between the kumadori.
Also, as it was stored in a paulownia chest, there is no yellowing on the silk fabric.
(Please forgive any oversights on my part during visual inspection).
*The ink splash to the left of Shichinosuke's kumadori was present from the beginning.
We kindly ask that you make your decision based on the above information and the provided photographs.
