EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the late 18th century, showcases Segawa Kikunojo III or Segawa Otome in the role of a Shirabyoshi dancer during a performance of the play "Edo no Hana Mimasu Soga" or "Buke no Hana Musume no Adauchi" at the Nakamura Theater in Japan, circa 1783. The actor, dressed in the traditional Shirabyoshi costume, is depicted in the midst of a lively dance, with a vibrant expression and a graceful pose. The intricate design of the print showcases the rich colors and intricate patterns of the Shirabyoshi apparel, including the hosoban kimono, hat, and colorful accessories. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the Katsukawa, particularly the Katsukawa Shunsho and Miyagawa Yusuke, who were known for their innovative and dynamic portrayals of Kabuki actors and entertainers. The print also highlights the fashion trends of the Edo period, with the Shirabyoshi dance being a popular form of entertainment that often featured male impersonators. The print is an invaluable piece of Asian art history, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 18th century.
