EDITORS COMMENTS
This diptych print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi takes us back to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. Titled "The Actors Bando Mitugoro III and Segawa Kikunojo V" this woodblock masterpiece captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us to a winter scene filled with excitement and playfulness. In this enchanting artwork, two renowned kabuki actors engage in a spirited snowball fight. Bando Mitugoro III and Segawa Kikunojo V are depicted mid-action, their expressions brimming with joy as they hurl snowballs at each other. The delicate details of their elaborate costumes showcase the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating these theatrical ensembles. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the chill in the air and hear the laughter echoing through the snowy landscape. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to every element - from the actors' vivid robes to the pristine white snowflakes falling gently around them.

This diptych exemplifies his mastery of ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world" which aimed to depict scenes from contemporary urban culture. Displayed at Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, this print offers viewers a window into Japanese history while showcasing Utagawa Kuniyoshi's artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder
