The theatre was a lifetime passion of Kunichika’s. In 1893, Kunichika was commissioned to create the series "One Hundred Roles of Baiko," chronicling the various characters played by the famous actor Onoe Kikugoro V, whose stage name was "Baiko." These prints feature a large portrait of Baiko in one of his major roles, along with a small scene showing a supporting actor from the same play. These powerful images were printed using expensive techniques and materials such as, embossing, and mica. We only have a small number of the 100 prints in the series. Note: The prints in this collection below are not for sale BUT we may have some duplicates for sale if you do a search for prints from this artist.
