EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Actor Ichikawa Ebizo as Kudo Suketsune Disguised as a Komuso in the Play Waka Murasaki Edokko Soga," showcases the renowned Japanese actor Ichikawa Ebizo in the role of Kudo Suketsune, disguised as a Komuso monk, during a performance at the Ichimura Theater in the first month of 1792. The triptych, created by the artist Shunsho, is a stunning example of the artistic school of the eighteenth century in Japan. The central sheet of the print features Ebizo in his disguise, with a serene expression on his face, holding a traditional bag used by Komuso monks. He wears a simple brown robe, adorned with a green sash, and a distinctive black hat with a white band. The intricately designed bag, which hangs from his shoulder, is a work of art in itself, with intricate patterns and colors that add to the overall visual appeal of the print. The background of the print is filled with the hustle and bustle of the theater, with other actors and onlookers in various stages of excitement and amusement. The use of color, particularly the contrast between the black and green, adds depth and dimension to the print, while the delicate block printing technique showcases the skill and artistry of the artist. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, and the enduring legacy of Kabuki theater. It provides a glimpse into the world of Japanese drama, fashion, and entertainment during a time when the arts were held in high regard and played an integral role in the daily lives of the people.
