@silk.echo.jp: A Comparison of Actors’ Wages (Tokyo), by Toyohara Kunichika, c. 1883, is a Meiji-period Japanese color woodblock triptych that combines kabuki actor portraiture with information about the growing commercial culture of theater. The print depicts eight prominent kabuki actors performing nine different roles, dressed in elaborate costumes and displaying the exaggerated expressions, makeup, and hairstyles associated with their stage characters. Above the portraits is a list of the names and salaries of 56 additional Tokyo-based actors, turning the print into both a celebration of theatrical celebrities and a record of their professional status. By presenting actors alongside information about their earnings, Kunichika highlights the popularity, hierarchy, and economic world of kabuki during the rapidly modernizing Meiji period. 『俳優給金比較(東京)』は、豊原国周が1883年頃に制作した明治時代の多色木版画三枚続で、歌舞伎役者の肖像と当時の演劇界における商業文化を組み合わせた作品です。画面には九つの役を演じる八人の著名な歌舞伎役者が描かれ、豪華な衣装や誇張された表情、化粧、髪型によってそれぞれの舞台上の人物が表現されています。役者たちの肖像の上には、さらに56人の東京の歌舞伎役者の名前と給金が記されており、この作品は人気役者を紹介するだけでなく、当時の俳優たちの職業的な地位を記録する役割も果たしています。国周は役者の姿と収入に関する情報を同時に示すことで、急速に近代化していた明治時代における歌舞伎の人気、役者の序列、そして演劇界の経済的な側面を伝えています。
