Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa, Samurai Warrior

Entitled: "A popular hero, Shibaraku"; shows an actor as a samurai making a grand entrance at the "Shibaraku" moment on the kabuki stage. Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa is the hero of the kabuki play Shibaraku, one of the most widely-recognized of all kabuki roles and one most associated with the form among those with only a cursory knowledge of the form. Kagemasa is represented in the play with bold red and white face makeup, and a massive costume with huge sleeves. Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa (born 1069) was a samurai descended from the Taira clan, who fought for the Minamoto clan in the Gosannen War of Japan's Heian period. He is famous for having continued to fight after losing an eye in battle during that war. Woodcut by Kiyomasu Torii, 1714.
