EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho in 1771, showcases two of the most celebrated actors of the Edo period, Ichikawa Komazo II as Soga no Juro Sukenari and Ichikawa Danjuro V as Soga no Goro Tokimune, in their iconic roles from the play "Sakaicho Soga Nendaiki." The actors are depicted donning the distinctive komuso attire, which includes a brown robe, a basket hat, and a hakama. The left side of the print features Danjuro V, with his intense gaze and expressive facial features, embodying the character of Soga no Goro Tokimune. His costume is adorned with intricate patterns, adding to the theatricality of the scene. On the right, Komazo II portrays Soga no Juro Sukenari, his brother, with a more reserved and contemplative expression. The brothers' costumes are remarkably similar, emphasizing their familial bond and the unity of their roles in the play. The vibrant colors of the print, with its predominantly brown and green tones, add depth and texture to the image. The use of block printing techniques highlights the intricate details of the actors' clothing, from the folds of their robes to the patterns on their hats. This stunning work of art is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the eighteenth century, showcasing the skill and creativity of the artistic school and the enduring appeal of traditional theater. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or theater history.
