Kabukidō Enkyō

1 works by Kabukidō Enkyō (Japanese, 1749–1803) are catalogued on Archive Lane, free to preview and available to download or order as a print.

Kabukidō Enkyō was a Japanese artist who designed ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Nothing is known of Enkyō's life, and only seven of his works are known, all of which are ōkubi yakusha-e, bust portrait prints of kabuki actors. Scholars divide them into two groups based on differences in the signatures, and the second group appears to be a set, as the prints depict three brothers from the same play. Enkyō's identity has been subject to speculation: a student of Sharaku's, even Sharaku himself, or a kyōgen playwright.
