EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of Soga no Dozaburo from the play "Shida Yuzuriha Horai" during its performance at the Morita Theater in the first month of 1775. The Edo period (1603-1868) actor is depicted with his arms folded, standing barefoot on a stage adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The print, which is part of the rich artistic heritage of Japan, is a testament to the grandeur and drama of Kabuki theater during the eighteenth century. Ichikawa Danjuro V, also known as Danjuro Ichiikawa, was a prominent figure in the Katsukawa School and is celebrated for his exceptional acting skills. He is depicted here in the traditional costume of the Soga character, with a flowing robe and a sword at his side. The print's intricate details, from the textured fabric of the clothing to the precise lines of the facial features, demonstrate the masterful artistry of Shunsho. The woodblock print's rich color palette and bold lines bring the character to life, transporting viewers to the world of Kabuki theater and the intriguing stories it told. The print's historical significance and artistic merit make it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or theater history.
