EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing polychrome woodblock print by Torii Kiyonaga transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japanese theater. Depicting a captivating scene from a drama, the print showcases the immense talent and creativity of actors during this era. The central figure, played by Danjuro V Ichikawa, commands attention with his commanding presence and exquisite cross-dressing portrayal. As an onnagata or female impersonator, he skillfully embodies femininity through his gestures and expressions. His counterpart, Ebizo Ichikawa (Ichikawa Ebizō), adds depth to the composition with his powerful stage presence. Every detail in this artwork is meticulously crafted - from the intricate costumes to the delicate musical instruments such as samisen (shamisen) and music stands that accompany these talented musicians. Kiyonaga's masterful use of ink and color on paper brings life to each character, immersing viewers in this theatrical spectacle. As we gaze upon this full-length depiction of actors immersed in their roles, we are transported not only to another time but also into a rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate audiences today. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Kiyonaga's artistic prowess and offers us an invaluable glimpse into Japan's ukiyo-e tradition. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of
