EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases the renowned Japanese actor Arashi Kichisaburo in the role of Sutewakamaru, a character from the classic Noh play "Sutewamaro." The image dates back to the early 19th century, between 1810 and 1818. The print is a testament to the rich tradition of Japanese woodblock printing, which reached its zenith during this period. Arashi Kichisaburo (1767-1835) was a celebrated actor of the Edo period, known for his mastery of the Noh and Kabuki theaters. In this print, he is depicted in the guise of Sutewakamaru, a character from the Noh play "Sutewamaro," a tragic tale of love and betrayal. The play tells the story of Sutewakamaru, a samurai who is in love with a noblewoman named Oshizu. However, their love is forbidden due to their social differences. In a fit of jealousy, Sutewakamaru kills Oshizu's husband, leading to his downfall. The print captures the intensity and emotion of Arashi Kichisaburo's performance as Sutewakamaru. He is depicted with a serious expression, wearing the traditional Noh costume, which includes a long robe, a mask, and a wig. The intricate details of the print, from the textured fabric of the robe to the expressive lines of the face, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the woodblock printer. This print is a valuable piece of Japanese cultural heritage, providing a glimpse into the world of Noh theater and the remarkable acting talent of Arashi Kichisaburo. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese art and the beauty and depth of its theatrical traditions.
