Kunisada, The Crossroads of Gappo Poster
Kunisada, The Crossroads of Gappo Utagawa Kunisada/Toyokuni III (1786-1865) Ehon Gappo Ga Tsuji (An Illustrated Picture Book of the Crossroads of Gappo) c 1850. Oban diptych.This beautifully preserved diptych by Kunisada depicts what has been described as ‘a kabuki drama of unfettered evil’. Early nineteenth century kabuki was dominated by the writer Tsuruya Nanboku IV who created a genre of plays that revelled in bloodthirsty melodrama. Ehon Gappo Ga Tsuji is an outstanding example of this type of kabuki play sometimes called a Kyogen drama. The plot is concerned with the recovery of a family heirloom and the revenge for a cowardly murder. The scene illustrated by Kunisada is from act six: Myokakuji Omote no Ba (In Front of Myo kaku Temple). We see two actors in the roles of Yaegaki Monzo and Kageyama Shigenojo, fighting before a huge statue of Emma Daio (the King of the underworld); it is an extraordinary, startling image, the grimacing face filling nearly both sheets and the actors depicted mid-fight. The play was performed at the famous Kawarazaki theatre in Edo in 1850. Probably from around 1850, the print is full size, in fine condition with strong colours, and crisp early impression, no condition issues. Unbacked and joined at the seam.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.

Fun bright artwork that really captures the mood I’m going for! Pop art with cyberpunk energy. A little sweet but also spicy. This art is the perfect size and vibe for our art gallery wall. The printing looks great, high quality with vibrant colors! I went with the semi-gloss finish, which adds a little extra shine and thickness to the print making it excellent for high-traffic areas like the staircase wall.
