#31 Kabuki-za at night

This print depicts the Kabuki-za theater in Tokyo's Ginza district after dark, its ornate façade rendered in the glow of electric lighting. The theater's tiered roofline and lantern-hung entrance would have offered Fujimori strong contrasts between deep shadow and warm illumination, well-suited to the expressive inkwork of sosaku-hanga. As a sosaku-hanga practitioner, Fujimori likely carved and printed the block himself, exploiting the woodblock medium's capacity for bold tonal shifts and selective bokashi gradation in the sky. The numbering suggests this work belongs to a catalogued series, though distinct from the titled Shin Tokyo hyakkei. Night views of modern Tokyo architecture were a recurring subject among Taisho and early Showa printmakers engaging with urban transformation.
