The print, created by artist Shunsho, offers a vivid glimpse into the world of Edo period drama and the intricate details of traditional Japanese clothing and accessories. Gokuin Sen'emon is depicted wearing a hosoban, a long, narrow robe tied with a sash, and a high-collared jacket. His hair is styled in the traditional topknot, and he wears a distinctive green color, symbolizing his character's status and role in the play. The actor's expressive face, with furrowed brow and intense gaze, conveys the emotion and intensity of the character he portrays. The print also features a carriage boot, a type of footwear commonly worn during this period, as well as a pair of geta, traditional Japanese sandals. The background of the print is filled with intricate patterns and details, further enhancing the overall visual appeal of the artwork. This color woodblock print is a testament to the artistic school of the eighteenth century in Japan, and serves as an important piece of cultural heritage, showcasing the rich history of Japanese theater and the fashion of the time. The print is a centerpiece of any collection of Asian art, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Japan during the Edo period.
