EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Otani Hiroemon III as Shinagawa Okaminosuke and Ichikawa Danjuro V as Arashishi Otokonosuke in the play "Fuki Kaete Tsuki mo Yoshiwara" (Rethatched Roof: The Moon also Shines Over the Yoshiwara Pleasure District), performed at the Morita Theater in the Eleventh Month of 1771. The actors are depicted in their elaborate costumes, embodying the characters they portrayed on stage. Hiroemon III, wearing a grey robe adorned with a flowerpot design, portrays Shinagawa Okaminosuke, a character known for his humble demeanor and compassionate nature. His attire reflects the simplicity and understated elegance of his character. On the left, Danjuro V, dressed in a vibrant, colorful costume as Arashishi Otokonosuke, exudes a bold and energetic presence. His clothing, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant hues, symbolizes the flamboyant and lively nature of his character. This stunning print is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Japan during the Edo period and the importance of theater and drama in Japanese culture. It is an exquisite example of the color woodblock printing technique, which was a popular artistic school in eighteenth-century Japan. The print is also a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history, offering a glimpse into the fashion and entertainment of the time.
