EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of Kakogawa Honzo from the Kabuki play "Kanadehon Chushingura" (The Treasury of Loyal Retainers), performed at the Nakamura Theater in the ninth month of 1780 in Japan. The print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Edo period Japan. Danjuro V, a prominent actor of the Katsukawa School, is depicted wearing the traditional hosoban costume, characterized by its narrow design and elegant simplicity. The black color dominates the print, adding a sense of drama and mystery to the image. Honzo, a councillor in the play, is shown with a serious expression, his eyes focused and determined. The intricate details of the print, from the delicate folds of his clothing to the intricate patterns on his dress, are a testament to the skill and artistry of Shunsho. The print also offers a glimpse into the fashion of the time, providing a window into the world of Edo period Japan and its artistic and cultural heritage. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Kabuki theater and its role in Japanese history and culture. Whether displayed in an art gallery, institute, or private collection, this print is sure to captivate and inspire.
