EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Segawa Yujiro I in the role of Osai, a female hairdresser, from the play "Kamuri Kotoba Soga no Yukari," performed at the Ichimura Theater in the first month of 1776 in Japan. The Edo Period (1603-1868) was a time of artistic innovation, and the Katsukawa School, to which Shunsho belonged, was at the forefront of this movement. Osai, a male actor specializing in female roles, known as an onnagata, is depicted in this print wearing traditional Japanese clothing, including a beige kimono with intricate patterns and a vibrant obi sash. The artist masterfully captures the essence of Osai's character, as she gazes intently back at the viewer with a confident and determined expression. Her hair, meticulously styled and adorned with various accessories, is a testament to her skill as a hairdresser. The intricately detailed print, with its rich colors and bold lines, is a stunning example of the color woodblock printing technique, which was popular during the eighteenth century in Japan. The print's muted tones and subtle shading add depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. This print not only showcases the artistic prowess of Shunsho but also offers a glimpse into the world of Edo Period theater and the role of the onnagata in Japanese entertainment. With its timeless beauty and historical significance, this print is a must-have for any collection of Asian art or for those interested in the history of theater and costume design.
