EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the master artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of Momonoi Wakasanosuke Yasuchika from the renowned Kabuki play "Kanadehon Chushingura," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the fifth month of 1771 in Japan. The actor is depicted in mid-performance, his bare feet poised on a stage adorned with traditional hosoban flooring. The green color woodblock print highlights Danjuro V's intricately designed beige costume, complete with a sword at his side and a blade tucked into his obi. The actor's intense expression and focused gaze convey the drama and emotion of the Edo period's feudal society. The apparel of the Kabuki actor reflects the fashion of the eighteenth century, with a distinctly Asian aesthetic. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of the costume are a testament to the artistic school of the time, which placed great importance on the concept of heritage and continuity. The print also showcases the concept of footwear being an essential part of traditional Japanese attire, with Danjuro V's bare feet adding authenticity to his portrayal of Momonoi Wakasanosuke. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan and its artistic traditions. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a standout piece, perfect for any art center, art gallery, or art institute. The print also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Kabuki theater and the iconic role of Ichikawa Danjuro V in Japanese entertainment history.
