EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned Japanese artist Shunsho, showcases Yamashita Kinsaku II in the role of Lady Manko (Manko Gozen) from the play Hatsumombi Kuruwa Soga, performed at the Nakamura Theater in the First Month of 1780. The Edo Period (1603-1868) print is a stunning example of the Katsukawa School's artistic mastery and the intricacies of eighteenth-century Japanese theater. Lady Manko, a female impersonator, is depicted wearing an elegant kimono in a rich olive green color, with a hand on her heart and a thoughtful expression. The intricate design of the kimono, featuring delicate patterns and bold lines, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The actor's dramatic pose, with one hand on his chest, adds to the intensity of the character. The print is a vibrant representation of the theatrical world during the Edo Period, showcasing the fusion of art, drama, and fashion. The use of black and green colors adds depth and contrast to the image, making it a true masterpiece of the artistic school. The print is a valuable heritage piece, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan and its theatrical traditions.
