EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of the monk Mongaku, disguised as Seizaemon Bozu, during his performance in the Kabuki play "Oakinai Hiru ga Kojima" at the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1784. The image captures Danjuro V in mid-pose, with his arms folded and a thoughtful expression on his face. The monk's costume is intricately detailed, featuring a grey robe, bald head, and traditional hosoban (thin-sleeved) undergarment. The monk is also barefoot, adding to the authenticity of the disguise. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa, which was renowned for its ability to capture the essence of Kabuki performances through intricate detail and vivid color. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the monk's costume and the overall scene to life. The print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, showcasing the importance of Kabuki theater and the art of acting. Danjuro V was a highly respected and influential actor of his time, and this print serves as a reminder of his contributions to the world of Japanese entertainment. The image is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on Asian art, arts of Asia, or the history of theater and acting. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a must-have for art enthusiasts, scholars, and collectors alike.
