EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of the renegade monk Wantetsu from the play "Date Nishiki Tsui no Yumitori," performed at the Morita Theater in the eleventh month of 1778 in Japan. The Edo period (1603-1868) actor is depicted in the raw and intense portrayal of the monk, with his bare feet and black clothing, which was a part of the traditional hosoban costume of the Katsukawa School. The monochrome print, with its intricate details and bold lines, highlights the dramatic contrast between the serene and spiritual monk and the rebellious and unruly character he portrays on stage. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the importance of Kabuki theater during this period. The intricate details of the actor's apparel, from the folds of his robe to the textures of his bald head, are expertly rendered in this stunning work of art. The print invites us to explore the depth and complexity of the human condition, as well as the rich cultural history of Japan during the eighteenth century.
