EDITORS COMMENTS
Utagawa Kunisada's captivating half-block print from the late 1850s showcases three renowned Kabuki actors in the roles of Genroku, Otsuma, and Shokuro, immersed in an indoor scene of the play "Kabuki no Hana Bandai Soga." Genroku, portrayed by Gototei Ichimatsu, is dressed in a brown kimono with a simple, unpatterned design, reflecting his humble and earnest character. Otsuma, played by Kinraisha Kochoro, dons a vibrant, colorful kimono adorned with intricate patterns, symbolizing his flamboyant and mischievous nature. Shokuro, depicted by Shozo Gototei, wears a striped kimono, adding to his distinctive appearance as the loyal and steadfast servant. The actors' expressive faces and detailed apparel illustrate the rich artistic school of Chuban, which focused on indoor scenes and interiors. This stunning color woodblock print, with its vivid hues and striking design, offers a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater during the 19th century, showcasing the thespian artistry of Utagawa Kunisada.
