EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Matsumoto Koshiro IV as Ogata no Saburo Disguised as Matsuura Saemon in the Play Ichi no Tomi Tsuki no Kaomise," was created by the renowned artist Shunsho during the Edo period in Japan, circa 1774. The print is a stunning example of the Katsukawa School's artistic mastery and the rich cultural heritage of Kabuki theatre in eighteenth-century Japan. The central figure in the print is Matsumoto Koshiro IV, portrayed as Ogata no Saburo, who is disguised as Matsuura Saemon in the play Ichi no Tomi Tsuki no Kaomise. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the print bring the scene to life, with Koshiro IV expertly portraying the dual roles of Ogata no Saburo and Matsuura Saemon. The print depicts Ogata no Saburo, dressed in the traditional kimono and hakama, sitting atop a horse while wearing the disguise of Matsuura Saemon. The horse, with its detailed and lifelike features, adds to the drama and excitement of the scene. The print also showcases other actors and characters from the play, each dressed in their respective costumes and accessories, adding to the richness and complexity of the composition. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa and the artistic innovations of the Edo period. Its vivid colors and intricate details make it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theatre and the fashion and entertainment of eighteenth-century Japan.
