Hello,
I recently purchased this print with only the knowledge that it was designed by Kunisada. I then found this entry http://www.artmemo.fr/Estampes-japonaises-Fiches/Fiche-UK543-Toykuni-III-2-jeunes-femmes-une%20endormie.htm, but I’m still curious for more information. Thank you very much in advance for any that can be offered.
Best regards,
Dante
I don't agree with the description but before giving you additional information I would need a sharp picture of the censor seals.
Finally I found all the information you need
Your print is the left panel of a diptych
The title of the play is Ashiya dōman ōuchi kagami (芦屋道満大内鑑)
performed the Nakamura theater 05/1850
shown on your print is the actor Bandō Shūka I in the role of Kuzunoha kitsune (葛乃葉狐) watching her child sleep.
