EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Torii Kiyonaga in the late 18th century, showcases the actor Iwai Hanshiro IV in a private moment with his attendant, Sekiguchi Shinsuke. The scene, part of an untitled series of prints depicting actors in their personal lives, beautifully captures the essence of the Kabuki theater culture in Japan during this period. Iwai Hanshiro IV, dressed in a striking orange kimono, exudes an air of confidence and refinement. His attendant, Sekiguchi Shinsuke, clad in a yellow kimono, attends to him with utmost care and respect. The use of vibrant colors, such as orange and yellow, adds to the overall visual appeal of the print. The print is a prime example of the Torii School's artistic style, which was known for its focus on depicting actors in their private lives, rather than in theatrical performances. The attention to detail in the clothing, the intricate patterns, and the subtle expressions on the actors' faces, all contribute to the print's enduring appeal. This woodblock print is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the traditional clothing and customs of Japan during the 18th century. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the actors, providing insight into their personal lives and the societal norms of the time. The print is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts of Asia, particularly those with a focus on Japanese art and theater history.
