EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Monnosuke II in the role of Kichisaburo, the Temple Page of Kichijo-ji, from the play "Sono Kyodai Fuji no Sugatami," performed at the Morita Theater in the Second Month of 1776. The Edo Period (1603-1868) print is an exquisite example of the Katsukawa School's artistic mastery. Kichisaburo, a male impersonator, is depicted wearing a striking hosoban kimono, a traditional Japanese garment characterized by its narrow width. The kimono's vibrant green color, symbolizing new growth and vitality, is beautifully contrasted by the muted tones of the background. The actor's elaborate headpiece, adorned with intricate patterns and a dramatic fan, further accentuates his regal appearance. In his hand, Kichisaburo holds a katana, a traditional Japanese sword, adding to the dramatic flair of the scene. The print's meticulous detail, from the delicate folds of the kimono to the expressive facial features of the actor, highlights the skill and artistry of Shunsho and the Katsukawa School. This woodblock print is not only a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan but also a fascinating glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater during the Eighteenth Century. The print's preservation in institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago allows us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this artistic tradition.
