EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the late 18th century, depicts a scene from the Kabuki play "Kitekaeru Nishiki no Wakayaka" (Returning Home in Splendor), performed at the Nakamura Theater in Japan during the first day of the eleventh month in 1780. The print features two prominent Kabuki actors of the time, Nakamura Nakazo I as Chinzei Hachiro Tametomo, disguised as a pilgrim on the left, and Ichikawa Danjuro V as Kazusa no Gorobei Tadamitsu on the right. The silent encounter scene (Dammari) from the end of Part One of the play is beautifully captured in this chuban (medium format) print. Chinzei Hachiro Tametomo, dressed in beige pilgrim's robes, holds a fan in his hand, while Kazusa no Gorobei Tadamitsu, portrayed by Ichikawa Danjuro V, wears a grey outfit and carries a sword. The intricate design of their costumes, showcasing the artistic school of Katsukawa, is a testament to the attention to detail and the artistic prowess of the time. The color woodblock print, with its vibrant hues and meticulous details, transports us back to the Edo period and offers a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater and its rich cultural heritage. The print is a stunning example of the artistic innovation and creativity that flourished during the eighteenth century in Japan and continues to captivate audiences and art enthusiasts alike.
