EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Onoe Kikugoro III in his role as Shimbei in the play "Sukeroku yukari no Edo zakura" created around 1830. The colored woodblock print, crafted by Kunisada Utagawa (Toyokuni III), is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. The image captures a scene from one of the Eighteen Plays (Kabuki Juhachiban) that were specifically associated with the Ichikawa lineage of actors. It portrays Sukeroku's deep connection with the cherry blossoms of Edo, which holds significant symbolism in Japanese culture. Accompanying this visually stunning artwork is a poem by Ryukatei Fushi Mizugaki, adding an extra layer of depth to the composition. Onoe Kikugoro III, a renowned actor during his time, brings Shimbei to life through his exceptional portrayal and traditional dress. This piece belongs to the ukiyo-e school, known for its depictions of everyday life and theater scenes. The intricate engraving technique used further enhances its artistic value. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection at eFitzwilliam Museum, we are transported back in time to witness a mesmerizing moment on stage. This photograph not only celebrates Japanese theater but also highlights cultural traditions and poetic beauty within Asian artistry.
