EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases Arashi Sangoro II, a renowned actor of the Edo period in Japan, as he portrays the character Sakura-maru in the play "Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami." The print, created by the artist Shunsho, was produced around 1772 for the Ichimura Theater. Sakura-maru, a humble and kind-hearted man, is depicted in the print wearing traditional Japanese clothing, including a hosoban kimono with intricate patterns and a wide-brimmed hat. He is shown kneeling on a mat, holding a scroll in one hand and a fan in the other, as if in the midst of a dramatic scene. The serene background of the print features a tranquil pine forest, adding to the sense of peace and harmony. The meticulous attention to detail in the print, from the textured fabric of the kimono to the delicate branches of the pine trees, highlights the artistic skill of Shunsho and the Katsukawa School. The print offers a glimpse into the world of Edo period theater and the fashionable clothing and dramatic performances that captivated audiences. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its artistic traditions.
