EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Toyohara Kunichika, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro IX in the role of Shijo Ryusei between approximately 1893 and 1898. Danjuro IX, a celebrated kabuki actor of the Meiji Era, is depicted with an expressive face and a thick, well-groomed beard, donning the elegant and intricately designed traditional costume of his character. The print is part of the series "Celebration of the 100th Performance of Ichikawa Danjuro," which commemorates the milestone achievement of Danjuro IX's career. The print also features other notable kabuki actors of the time, including Kawarasaki Chojuro III, Kawarasaki Gonjuro I, Kawarasaki Gonnosuke VII, and Kawarasaki Sansho, all dressed in their respective traditional costumes. The vibrant colors and detailed clothing designs showcase the rich heritage and fashion of the Meiji Period in Japan. This woodblock print is an exquisite example of the ukiyo-e art form, which flourished in Japan during the Edo period and was characterized by its depictions of the floating world, or the ephemeral pleasures of life. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to captivate and inspire audiences with its stunning visual representation of Japanese thespian heritage.
