EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Actor Matsumoto Koshiro IV as Hatakeyama Shigetada in the Play Edo no Fuji Wakayagi Soga," showcases the renowned Japanese actor Matsumoto Koshiro IV, portraying the character Hatakeyama Shigetada in the Kabuki play "Edo no Fuji Wakayagi Soga." The print was created by the esteemed artist Katsukawa Shunsen in 1789. Hatakeyama Shigetada, dressed in a traditional hosoban kimono, is depicted with a serious expression, holding a katana sword in his right hand. His costume, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflects the elegance and sophistication of the Kabuki theater during the Edo period. The print also features other notable figures from the play, including Ichikawa Somegoro I as Jissan Shushin Daikoji and Kyojuro Omegawa as the play's author. The background of the print reveals the Nakamura Theater, where the play was performed, adding to the historical significance of the image. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the print, bringing the characters and their costumes to life. The gray tone of the print creates a sense of drama and intensity, further enhancing the overall effect. This print is an excellent example of the artistic school of Katsukawa Shunsen and the rich cultural heritage of Kabuki theater in Japan during the late 18th century. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or theater history.
