EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, depicts Nakamura Nakazo I in the role of Chinzei Hachiro Tametomo, disguised as an ascetic monk in the Kabuki play "Kitekaeru Nishiki no Wakayaka," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1780 in Japan. The print is a stunning example of the Katsukawa School's artistic mastery during the Edo Period. Chinzei Hachiro Tametomo, a legendary figure from Japanese folklore, is depicted here with a serious expression, dressed in the humble apparel of an ascetic monk. His bare feet and shaven head add authenticity to his disguise. The monk's brown robe, adorned with intricate patterns, is expertly rendered in the color woodblock print process, showcasing the artist's skillful use of color and detail. The left sheet of this diptych presents a closer view of the actor's face, revealing the subtle nuances of his expression and the intricacies of his makeup. The altar in the background, with its offerings and incense, further emphasizes the monk's ascetic lifestyle. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the art of Kabuki theatre during the eighteenth century. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the human body in motion, as well as the intricacies of Japanese fashion and costume design. The print also serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Japanese art on the global artistic scene.
