EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Matsumoto Koshiro III in the role of Kikuchi Hyogo Narikage from the play "Katakiuchi Chuko Kagami," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the sixth month of 1770 in Japan. The actor, dressed in the traditional garb of the Edo period, is depicted in a thoughtful pose, with his bare feet and hosoban (narrow trousers) adorned in the cream color typical of the Katsukawa School. The elderly Kikuchi Hyogo Narikage, a character from the Danjuro Ichikawa V's repertoire, is known for his wisdom and courage in the world of Kabuki drama. The intricate details of the print reveal the artistic mastery of Shunsho, from the delicate folds of the actor's clothing to the expressive lines on his face. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the image, further emphasizing the rich heritage and cultural significance of this artistic tradition. The print serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Kabuki theater in Japan and the captivating performances of its actors during the eighteenth century.
