EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Nakamura Tomijuro I in the role of Lady Hangaku (Hangaku Gozen) from the Kabuki play "Wada-gassen Onna Maizuru," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the seventh month of 1777 in Japan. Tomijuro I, an accomplished onnagata (female impersonator), masterfully portrays the elegant and enigmatic Lady Hangaku, who is dressed in a stunning hosoban kimono with intricate pink and grey patterns. The print captures a moment of introspection, as Tomijuro I's character looks away, lost in thought or contemplation. The artist, Shunsho, expertly employs the techniques of the Katsukawa School, with meticulous attention to detail in the textures of the fabrics and the subtle shading of the actor's features. The print offers a glimpse into the rich artistic traditions of Edo period Japan, showcasing the fusion of drama, fashion, and heritage in the world of Kabuki theatre.
