EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Katsukawa Shunsen, showcases Ichikawa Komazo III in the role of Fuji Sakon from the Kabuki play "Egara Tenjin Risho Kagami," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the third month of 1789. The actor is depicted in the intricately designed and colorful hosoban kimono, which features a striking pink and rose pattern. The traditional Japanese clothing is accessorized with a sword, adding to the dramatic and warrior-like portrayal of the character. Fuji Sakon was a pivotal figure in the play, known for his bravery and honor. The blade of his katana, which is shown in the print, is meticulously detailed, reflecting the artistic skill and attention to detail of the ukiyo-e style. The print also highlights the rich heritage and artistic school of Kabuki theater, which was a significant form of entertainment in Japan during the Edo period. The print, with its bold colors and intricate patterns, is a testament to the artistic mastery of Katsukawa Shunsen and the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese art. It offers a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater and the fashion and clothing trends of the time, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history.
