EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Bando Mitsugoro I in the role of Soga no Juro Sukenari in the Kabuki play "Shuen Soga Omugaeshi," performed at the Ichimura Theater during the second month of 1768 in Japan. The Edo period (1603-1868) was a time of rich artistic expression in Japan, and the world of Kabuki theater was no exception. Mitsugoro I, a prominent actor of the Katsukawa School, is depicted here in stunning detail, wearing the traditional hosoban kimono in a vibrant olive green color. The intricate design of the kimono, with its bold patterns and delicate lines, is a testament to the skillful artistry of the block printing process. Mitsugoro I's character, Soga no Juro Sukenari, is a pivotal figure in the "Shuen Soga" play, a tragic tale of love, honor, and revenge. In this image, the actor is shown with his hands in his pockets, exuding a sense of calm and confidence. The use of the green color adds to the overall mood of the print, evoking a feeling of tranquility and serenity. This beautiful work of art is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, showcasing the rich heritage and artistic traditions of Japan during the eighteenth century. Whether displayed in an art center, gallery, or institute, it is sure to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details, vibrant colors, and historical significance.
