EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating polychrome woodblock print from the 18th century created by Torii Kiyonobu I. This mesmerizing artwork showcases the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary sight as Dekishima Hanya, a renowned male actor and female impersonator of his time, sits gracefully upon a blooming cherry tree. Dressed in vibrant traditional clothing, his kimono adorned with intricate patterns and colors that harmonize with nature's beauty. The delicate cherry blossoms surrounding him symbolize the arrival of spring and evoke feelings of renewal and transience. The artist skillfully captures every detail using ink and color on paper, bringing to life the essence of this enchanting season. This woodblock print not only highlights the talent and creativity of Torii Kiyonobu I but also serves as a testament to Japanese theatrical traditions and entertainment during that era. It offers us a glimpse into the world of ukiyo-e prints, where actors like Dekishima Hanya were celebrated for their performances. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this exquisite piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in both natural beauty and cultural history. As we admire "Dekishima Hanya Seated on a Cherry Tree" we are reminded of Japan's profound connection with its surroundings through artistry that transcends time
