EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Nakamura Noshio I in the role of Tamanami, a dragon maiden, from the Kabuki play "Oyafune Taiheiki," performed at the Ichimura Theater in the eleventh month of 1775 in Japan. The Edo Period (1603-1868) masterpiece depicts Noshio I, a male actor, skillfully disguised as a woman, wearing a stunning hosoban kimono adorned with vibrant green color and intricate patterns. The dragon maiden's elaborate headdress, complete with flowing tassels and a distinctive mouth design, adds to the allure of the disguise. The print, a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The use of calligraphy at the bottom of the print identifies the title of the play and the performer. The geographical feature of the Kamogawa Estuary is subtly incorporated into the design, further emphasizing the connection between the arts and the natural world in Japanese culture. This piece of heritage art is a prime example of the rich artistic traditions of eighteenth-century Japan and the enduring influence of Kabuki theater on Japanese entertainment. The intricate details of the costume, the dramatic pose, and the vivid colors all come together to create a visually stunning and historically significant work of art.
