EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ichikawa Danzo III as Fuwa Banazemon in the Play 'Date Moyo Kumo ni Inazuma,'" dates back to the eighteenth century in Japan. The print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danzo III, a prominent Kabuki actor of the time, portraying the character Fuwa Banazemon. The scene is set at the Morita Theater, and the performance took place in the tenth month of 1768. Fuwa Banazemon, a character from the Bando Jiroshaburo school, is depicted wearing a traditional Japanese costume. The garment is a striking combination of black and grey, with intricate patterns and designs. The actor's clothing is adorned with a hosoban, a long, narrow sash, and he carries a katana, a traditional Japanese sword, adding to the authenticity of the portrayal. The print is a masterpiece of color woodblock printing, with the artist's skillful use of color and concept evident in every detail. The background is a muted grey, providing a stark contrast to the bold black and grey of the actor's outfit. The print also features the signature of the artist, Katsukawa Shunsho, and the name of the publisher, Katsumiyagawa Yusuke. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It showcases the intricacies of Kabuki theater and the fashion trends of the time, making it an invaluable addition to any art collection. The print's timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers and provide a glimpse into the artistic schools and cultural traditions of eighteenth-century Japan.
