EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of Watanabe Kiou Takiguchi from the Kabuki play "Nue no Mori Ichiyo no Mato," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1770. The print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, offers a glimpse into the rich artistic traditions of Edo period Japan. Danjuro V, a prominent actor of the Katsukawa School, is depicted in intricate detail, wearing a brown hosoban costume adorned with geometric patterns. The character's expressive face and intense gaze convey the drama and emotion of the scene. The print's color palette, dominated by earthy browns and muted tones, adds to the authenticity and historical accuracy of the image. The play "Nue no Mori Ichiyo no Mato" is a classic of Kabuki theater, and this print serves as a valuable record of Danjuro V's interpretation of the character Watanabe Kiou Takiguchi. The print's intricate design and attention to detail reflect the artistic sophistication and cultural heritage of 18th century Japan. This woodblock print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Kabuki theater and the art of Shunsho, and is an essential addition to any collection of Asian art or theater history.
