Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Okumura Masanobu (1686-1764) was a Japanese print designer, book publisher, and painter. He also illustrated novelettes and in his early years wrote some fiction. At first his work adhered to the Torii school, but later drifted beyond that. He is a figure in the formative era of ukiyo-e doing early works on actors and bijinga, 'beautiful women.'"--Wikipedia. Note: "Urushi-e, literally meaning "lacquer picture," refers to two types of Japanese artworks: paintings painted with actual lacquer, and particular woodblock printing styles which use regular ink but are said to resemble the darkness and thickness of black lacquer."--Wikipedia. Note: "Kakemono-e, an ōban diptych arranged one above the other (also a hanging scroll paintings)."--Wikipedia. Note: Original caption information provided as: "Okumura Masanobu "The Actor Onoe Kikugoro I" Kakemono-e hand colored Urushi-e 1744"
