Onnagata

This okubi-e, "big-head picture," shows an actor in a female role as indicated by the purple scarf across the actor's shaved forehead. The colors are an interesting combination of natural and synthetic pigments. As Japan opened to the West in the 1860s, aniline dyes were imported from Europe. Their brilliance was seductive and quickly led to overuse. The purple here is particularly typical of the period. This print has faded to a level pleasing to contemporary eyes - the colors of the original would have been exciting but garish.
