Product code: Vintage Original Japanese Kabuki Theatre store Actor Early 20th Century Photograph
Early to Mid 20th Century Vintage Original Japanese Kabuki Theatre Actor Photograph. The Actor is Wearing a Layered Silk Costume and Holding a Sword and Straw Hat. This Photo has a store Luster Finish.
I believe the actor is Ota Mitsunosuke of the Masudaya Guild with the Stage Name Ichikawa Sumizo VII. He was born 1 April 1902 and died 7 March 1985.
The image is clean on the front and has a little dirt on the blank back. The edges are in nice condition with minimal corner wear.
I find it interesting that this photograph measures the same as a postcard size; 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches.
