EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matsumoto Yonesaburo in the mesmerizing role of the courtesan Kewaizaka No Shosho (Shinobu) in the renowned play Katakiuchi Noriai Banashi, dating back to around 1794-95. Created by Sharaku, Toshusai, a prominent Japanese artist from that era, this woodblock print captures the essence and allure of traditional ukiyo-e art. Yonesaburo's portrayal of Kewaizaka No Shosho is nothing short of extraordinary. Dressed in an exquisite costume adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors, he effortlessly embodies both grace and strength. His flawless execution of drag brings an added layer of authenticity to his performance. The elaborate hairpiece worn by Yonesaburo further enhances his transformation into this iconic character. With every strand meticulously arranged, it adds an air of elegance and sophistication to his overall appearance. In this theatrical portrait captured by Sharaku, we witness Yonesaburo's ability to transcend gender roles as he seamlessly assumes the persona of a geisha. The depth and intensity behind his eyes reveal the dedication and passion he pours into each performance. Through this masterful woodblock print, we are transported back in time to experience the magic and grandeur of kabuki theater. It serves as a testament to both Yonesaburo's exceptional talent as well as Sharaku's artistic prowess. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Art offers
