EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, depicts Ichikawa Ebizo III in the role of Akushichibyoe Kagekiyo, disguised as a beggar in the play "Kamuri Kotoba Soga no Yukari," performed at the Ichimura Theater in the first month of 1776 in Japan. The Edo Period (1603-1868) actor is shown barefoot and dressed in tattered clothing, with a desperate and pleading expression on his face. The print, a masterpiece of the Katsukawa School, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion and the dramatic essence of the theatrical performance. The use of bold, earthy colors and intricate details adds to the print's visual appeal and historical significance. The image of a renowned actor in disguise as a beggar is a common theme in Japanese theater, highlighting the concept of transformation and the ability of art to transport the audience to another world. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of the performing arts.
