EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Toyohara Kunichika commemorates the 100th performance of the esteemed Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro IX in 1898. The image, titled "Celebration of the 100th performance of Ichikawa Danjuro (image 2 of 2)" or "Ichikawa Danjuro Engeki Hyakuban," showcases Danjuro in the center, surrounded by his fellow actors and the mythical beast, a dragon, symbolizing his triumphant career. Danjuro, with his distinctive beard and elaborate kimono, is depicted in a moment of pride and joy, surrounded by his colleagues Kawarasaki Chojuro III, Kawarasaki Gonjuro I, Kawarasaki Gonnosuke VII, Kawarasaki Sansho, and Kawarasaki Gonjuro. Each actor is dressed in ornate, colorful clothing, adding to the vibrant and intricate design of the print. The Meiji Era (1868-1912) background setting is evident in the detail of the actors' apparel, which reflects the fusion of traditional and modern elements during this period. The inset of the print features calligraphy, adding an artistic touch to the overall composition. This print is a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese Kabuki theater and the significance of Danjuro's centenary performance. It is a stunning example of the intricate and detailed woodblock prints produced during the late 19th century in Japan. The print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), allowing future generations to appreciate and learn from this valuable piece of Asian art and cultural history.
