◇ Ichikawa Sansho V (5th generation) (One of the two items has damage, so please consider it as a bonus) Kabuki actor (posthumously awarded the title of Ichikawa Danjuro X) He entered the Ichikawa family as an adopted son from a bank clerk and became a Kabuki actor around the age of 30 as the head of the family. Although "the fifth generation" is written as Sansho, only Fukusaburo Horikoshi uses the name "Ichikawa Sansho," and he is usually called Ichikawa Sansho. He is also known as the posthumously awarded Ichikawa Danjuro X. He was one of the most intellectual figures in the Kabuki world at the time, with a wide and deep knowledge of calligraphy, painting, antiques, haiku, music, and classics. He worked hard to maintain and develop the connections between the Kabuki world and the political and financial worlds, and he played a major role in supporting and protecting the traditions of Edo Kabuki even during the difficult period immediately after the war.
