The Actor Ichikawa Monnosuke II as Soga no Goro and Segawa Kikunojo III as Tsukisayo - A Captivating Display of Edo Period Kabuki
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning print captures a mesmerizing moment from the world of Edo period kabuki theater. Created by Torii Kiyonaga in the 18th century, it showcases the remarkable talent and artistry of two renowned actors, Ichikawa Monnosuke II and Segawa Kikunojo III. In this particular scene from the play "Nanakusa Yosooi Soga" performed at Nakamura Theater in January 1782, we witness a captivating portrayal of characters immersed in drama and emotion. The actor Ichikawa Monnosuke II flawlessly embodies the role of Soga no Goro, while Segawa Kikunojo III brings to life the character Tsukisayo with grace and intensity. The vibrant colors used in this woodblock print add depth to their elaborate costumes, showcasing intricate details that were characteristic of traditional Japanese attire during that era. The black katana held by Goro symbolizes his determination for revenge, contrasting beautifully against the green hues surrounding him. Kabuki theater was known for its flamboyant performances and dramatic storytelling techniques. This image perfectly encapsulates these elements, transporting viewers back to a time when live entertainment was celebrated as an integral part of Japanese culture. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Art Gallery, let us appreciate not only Torii Kiyonaga's artistic skill but also recognize how kabuki theater continues to captivate audiences even centuries later.
