Subject Description:
The Osaka actor Asao Tamejuro I appears as Gotobei, in a later moment of his drunken dance before Lord Yoshitsune in the play Yoshitsune Koshigoe Jo. Here he has hoisted a large bucket of sake up onto his back with a broom through the handle, perhaps inimitation of a manservant (yakko) carrying a travelling case in the entourage of a feudal lord. The red and black lacquered bucket bears Tamejaro I's acting crest-two parallel lines in a circle-painted on the handle.Once again Shun'ei has skillfully captured the actor's depiction of drunken buffoonery: his tongue lolling in his open mouth and his eyebrows raised in befuddlement. He has also not hesitated to show Tamejuro I's flabby torso, in what is clearly a later part of the dance, when Gotobei is moredeeply drunk and has discarded more of his clothes. ('The Actor's Image', 1994)
