EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, created by Torii Kiyomine in the 19th century, showcases the renowned actor Ichikawa Danjuro II. The image transports us back to the vibrant world of Edo period entertainment in Japan. Ichikawa Danjuro II, a celebrated figure in Japanese theater, is depicted here in full costume and regalia. His elaborate dress reflects the intricate patterns and colors commonly found during this era. With ink and color on paper, Kiyomine skillfully captures every detail of Danjuro's attire. The print offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Japanese artistry and theatrical tradition. It exemplifies ukiyo-e, a popular artistic school that flourished during this time period. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly displays this masterpiece as part of its collection. Danjuro's commanding presence fills the frame as he embodies his character with intensity and grace. This portrayal encapsulates his talent as an actor and highlights his contribution to Japanese theater. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported to another time - a moment frozen within history where art meets performance. Kiyomine's skillful printing technique brings life to Danjuro's expressive face and dynamic gestures. Through this woodblock print, we can appreciate not only the mastery of both artist and subject but also gain insight into the cultural significance of theater in Japan during the 18th century.
