EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of Ogata no Sabura from the play "Nue no Mori Ichiyo no Mato," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1770. The Edo Period (1603-1868) actor is depicted in his full regalia, with a striking green and floral costume adorned with intricate patterns. His bare feet, a common practice in traditional Japanese theater, are positioned on a raised platform, ready for action. The aristocratic audience, dressed in elegant robes and headdresses, gaze intently at the stage, their expressions a mix of awe and delight. Danjuro V, a prominent figure in the world of Kabuki theater, is known for his exceptional skill and versatility. His portrayal of Ogata no Sabura, a character from the "Tales of Ise" anthology, would have left the audience in a state of wonder and excitement. This beautiful color woodblock print is a testament to the artistic school of the eighteenth century in Japan. The vibrant colors, intricate details, and the sense of movement and energy conveyed through the poses of the actors and the onlookers, make it a true masterpiece of Asian art. The print is part of the "Yakusha Kuni no Hana: Prominent Actors of Japan" collection, and is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
