EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ichikawa Danjuro V as Arakawa Taro in the Play 'Date Nishiki Tsui no Yumitori,'" was created by the renowned artist Shunsho during the Edo period in Japan, around 1778. The print depicts Danjuro V, a prominent Kabuki actor of the Katsukawa School, in the role of Arakawa Taro from the play 'Date Nishiki Tsui no Yumitori.' The actor is shown wearing intricately designed clothing and a distinctive hosoban robe, accessorized with a katana and a geometrical fan. Arakawa Taro's expression conveys a sense of distrust and apprehension, adding to the dramatic tension of the scene. The print's vibrant colors and detailed apparel showcase the artistic skill and creativity of the Katsukawa School, which was known for its innovative and expressive designs. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan's Edo period and the enduring legacy of its artistic schools. The print was originally created for display in a Kabuki theater or art gallery, and its intricate details and striking composition continue to captivate audiences and art enthusiasts alike.
