Okumura Masanobu

Perspective View of the Interior of the Nakamura Theater with Ichikawa Ebizo II as Yanone Goro, 1740. The print illustrates the typical interior of a Kabuki theater. The stage was connected to the audience by the hanamichi , the ramp or runway extending from the stage to the rear of the theater over which the actors would strut in dramatic roles. Patrons often stayed all day for the plays. Unlike quiet Western audiences, Kabuki fans were spirited, buying food from vendors and even shouting praises to their favorite actors as they came onto the stage. In 1734, the first Japanese manual on perspective was printed. Masanobu was probably the first printmaker to use this method of describing three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional support. He helped popularize the perspective print, and he introduced other innovations such as two-colour printing and hand-colouring?this print is hand-coloured using yellow, red (tan), and red-brown.
