EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print, titled "The Actor Nakamura Tomijuro I as Lady Hangaku (Hangaku Gozen) in the Play Wada-gassen Onna Maizuru" transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japanese theater. Created by Katsukawa Shunsho, a renowned artist of the time, this hosoban-sized artwork measures 32.7 x 15.3 cm and is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. In this striking depiction, we see Nakamura Tomijuro I embodying the character of Lady Hangaku with remarkable grace and intensity. Dressed in an exquisite kimono that exudes elegance and tradition, he captivates our attention with his commanding presence. Holding a sword firmly in hand, he embodies both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. The play itself takes place at the Nakamura Theater during the seventh month of 1777, offering audiences a glimpse into historical Japan during the Edo period under Tokugawa rule. This traditional costume drama showcases not only exceptional acting skills but also highlights intricate costumes that were characteristic of this era. Katsukawa's masterful use of colors adds depth and richness to every detail within this composition. From Lady Hangaku's flowing robes to her meticulously styled hair adorned with delicate accessories, each element contributes to an overall sense of theatricality and beauty. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to transport us across time and cultures while celebrating the talent and dedication it takes for actors like Nakamura Tomijuro I to bring characters like Lady Hangaku to life on stage.
