EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the late 18th century, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in a Shibaraku role, believed to be portraying the character Kato Hyoeisa Shigemitsu in the third scene of the play "Masakado Kammuri no Hatsuyuki" (The First Snow on Taira no Masakado's Court Headdress). The print was produced for the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1777, during Japan's Edo period. Danjuro V, a prominent Kabuki actor, is depicted in this print with an intricately designed costume and an expression of intense concentration. The geometric patterns and vibrant colors used in the print are characteristic of the Katsukawa School, which was known for its innovative and dynamic approach to woodblock printing. The actor's apparel includes a hosoban robe, which is a traditional Japanese garment with wide sleeves and a narrow body, worn by male actors in Kabuki theater. The robe is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and bold colors, reflecting the artistic school's emphasis on detail and visual impact. The print also features a sense of drama and theatricality, with the actor hiding his face behind a fan, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the image. The overall effect is one of beauty, artistry, and historical significance, making this print a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or theater history.
