Ippitsusai Bunchōga 一筆齋文調画
Der Kabuki-Schauspieler Ichikawa Monnosuke II. 二代目市川門之助 (1743–1794) in seinem eigenen Laden für Kosmetika, Düfte und Öle. Sein persönliches Wappen (das Symbol ㊀ = eins, in einem Kreis) erscheint mehrmals auf dem Bild. Auf dem noren 暖簾 (eine Art Vorhang/Sichtschutz) außerdem der Name (des Ladens) „Takii“. In der linken Hand hält er ein Päckchen mit weißem Puder. Links neben ihm zwei Ständer mit Werbeplakaten für verschiedene Produkte aus dem Laden. Für Schauspieler war es nicht unüblich neben der Schauspielerei noch ein zweites Standbein zu haben: Meist waren sie als Kaufleute tätig und führten einen Laden. Der Laden befand sich in Terifuri-chō in Edo (vgl. Lit.: Fujiwara).
zum ehem. Sammler William Anderson:
English surgeon and dermatologist, born December 18, 1842, London; died October 27, 1900, London. ...
A unique combination of art and medicine commenced when the Japanese government established the Imperial Naval Medical College in Tokyo and advertised for a British surgeon as its director. Anderson obtained the position of professor of anatomy there in 1873 and was medical officer to the British envoy in Japan from 1874 to 1879. At first he lectured with the aid of an interpreter, and later in Japanese, on anatomy, physiology, surgery, and medicine.
...
During this period he started collecting Japanese pictures. His first collection was destroyed in a fire in which he lost most of his possessions, but he was soon able to replace his losses. Thus he built a superb collection of Japanese art, engravings, etchings and illustrated books that illustrated the history and development of Japanese art. He later sold his collection to the British Museum. At the time it was considered to be the finest to be assembled in Europe and perhaps in the world.
