EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Actor Otani Hiroemon III as Hige no Ikyu in the scene Sukeroku" from the play "Hitokidori Harutsuge Soga" (The Soga Play: Announcement of the Spring Season by the Bush Warbler), dates back to the 18th century in Japan. Created by the renowned artist Shunsho, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the Edo period. The image showcases Otani Hiroemon III, a prominent Kabuki actor of the time, portraying the character Hige no Ikyu in the scene "Sukeroku." Hige no Ikyu, an elderly man, is depicted with a serious expression as he gazes off into the distance, holding a katana sword in one hand and a fan in the other. His elaborate costume, featuring a vibrant kimono with intricate designs, is adorned with a hosoban (narrow obi) and a pair of carriage boots. The left sheet of this diptych also reveals his traditional geta footwear. The print is a stunning example of the Katsukawa School, specifically the work of Katsukawa Shunshō and Miyakawa Shunsho. The artist's skillful use of color woodblock printing techniques brings the character to life, capturing the essence of the drama and the elegance of the Edo period. The print's concept is further enhanced by the setting, with a daimyo's residence in the background, symbolizing the feudal hierarchy and the aristocratic nature of Kabuki theater. This artwork is not only a valuable piece of Asian art history but also a fascinating glimpse into the world of Kabuki acting and the fashion trends of the Edo period. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic schools of Asia, the history of Japan, or the world of theater.
