EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the master artist Shunsho, showcases an interlude from the Edo period play "Hatsumombi Kuruwa Soga" (A Soga Drama on the First Festival Day in the Pleasure District), performed at the Nakamura Theater in 1780. The print features five renowned actors of the time, including Ichikawa Monnosuke II as Karigane Bunshichi, Bando Mitsugoro I as An no Heibei, Ichikawa Danjuro V as Gokuin Sen'emon, Nakamura Sukegoro II as Kaminari Shokuro, and Sakata Hangoro II as Hotei Ichiemon. Each actor is dressed in their distinctive apparel, adding to the vibrant and colorful composition of the print. The actors are depicted in the middle of a scene from the play, with Monnosuke II's Karigane Bunshichi, dressed in a long, flowing robe and holding a sword, standing to the far left. Mitsugoro I's An no Heibei, wearing a red and black costume, is next to him, holding a fan. Danjuro V's Gokuin Sen'emon, dressed in a green and white outfit, is in the center, while Sukegoro II's Kaminari Shokuro, wearing a blue and white outfit, is to his right. Hangoro II's Hotei Ichiemon, dressed as the jolly Buddhist monk Hotei, is on the far right, holding a fan and a staff. The intricate details of the actors' costumes and the bold use of color make this print a stunning example of the artistic school of the Edo period. The print is also a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 18th century, showcasing the importance of theater and entertainment in the daily lives of the people. This woodblock print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, theater history, or the fashion of the Edo period.
