EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by Torii Kiyomasu I in the 18th century, showcases the renowned Kabuki actors Nakamura Matsue as Ono Otsu and Ichimura Uzaemon as Nagoya Kosanza. The print, measuring 31x14 cm, is currently housed at the Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK. In this exquisite artwork, we see two actors fully immersed in their characters while standing on a house balcony or veranda. The delicate details of their costumes and accessories are brought to life through three vibrant colors: salmon pink, yellow-grey, and yellow. Nakamura Matsue's character captivates us with her graceful demeanor as she turns towards Ichimura Uzaemon's male character. She holds an open fan adorned with a chrysanthemum design while wearing a kimono embellished with cherry blossom motifs. Her crest proudly displays crossed makemonos. On the other hand, Ichimura Uzaemon portrays his role with great intensity. His kimono features a striking pattern of three umbrellas - one open and two closed - symbolizing protection from adversity. His crest bears his name proudly: Ichimura Uzaemon. As we admire this stunning print, we are transported back to Japan's Edo period during the Tokugawa era when Kabuki theater flourished. This artwork beautifully captures not only the artistry of these talented actors but also provides insight into Japanese culture and fashion of that time. Through its intricate details and masterful execution by Torii Kiyomasu I, this woodblock print continues to mesmerize viewers today as it did centuries ago.
