EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ichikawa Danjuro IX as Akamatsu Manyu," is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi from the late 19th century. The print is part of Yoshitoshi's series "News from the Kabuki Theater," showcasing the world of traditional Japanese theater. In this print, Danjuro IX, one of the most famous kabuki actors of his time, is depicted as Akamatsu Manyu, a character from the 15th century Akamatsu clan. Akamatsu Manyu, also known as Akamatsu Mitsusuke, was a legendary samurai known for his bravery and loyalty. He is shown here wearing the traditional Japanese clothing of the time, including a long kimono with a green color and intricate designs. The print captures the essence of the historical figure, with Danjuro IX expertly portraying the strong and determined expression of Akamatsu Manyu. The artist pays close attention to detail, from the intricate patterns on the kimono to the meticulous calligraphy on the scroll held by the character. The print also highlights the distinctive facial hair and beard style of the actor, which was a common feature of the kabuki theater during this period. The use of color and the bold lines add depth and dimension to the print, making it a stunning work of art that transports us back in time to the world of Japanese theater and history. This print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
