EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ichikawa Monosuke II as Soga no Juro Sukenari, a character from Japanese theater during the Edo period. Created by Katsukawa Shunko in approximately 1785, this polychrome woodblock print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan. In this full-length portrait, Monosuke II is depicted wearing an exquisite fur coat that adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to his attire. His vibrant clothing reflects the colorful nature of traditional Japanese costumes, while his hand gesture and gesturing pose convey a sense of drama and theatricality. The flaming torch held by Monosuke II further enhances the dramatic ambiance of the scene, casting shadows that add depth to the composition. The intricate details captured through ink and color on paper demonstrate Shunko's mastery in woodblock printing. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a visual representation of 18th-century entertainment in Japan. It transports viewers back in time to experience the world of actors and performers who captivated audiences with their talent and artistry. With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this ukiyo-e print not only celebrates Japanese culture but also pays homage to Katsukawa Shunko's contribution to heritage art.
