Four Actors in the Roles of Natsume Shirosaburo, Saimenosuke, Katsuragi, and Kijin Omatsu
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada in the 1830s. This masterpiece showcases four actors in their intricately designed costumes, each portraying a unique character from the world of Kabuki theatre. At the center, we find Natsume Shirosaburo, with his long black hair styled in a flowing wave, wearing an elegant kimono adorned with blue and white flowers. To his left, Saimenosuke, a bandit with a menacing expression, dons a dark, patterned kimono and a hooded cloak, his hair tied back in a simple ponytail. Katsuragi, the elegant courtesan, is depicted on the right, her kimono a riot of colors, with a delicate floral headpiece and intricate hairstyle. Lastly, Kijin Omatsu, the mischievous thief, is shown with a grin on his face, wearing a bright red kimono and a distinctive hairstyle with a topknot and a long ponytail. This stunning work of art is a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese culture and the intricacies of Kabuki theatre during the Edo period. The actors' expressive faces, detailed costumes, and the skillful use of color and composition make this a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, history, or drama. This print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire new generations of artists and scholars.
