EDITORS COMMENTS
Ichimura Kakitsu Holding an Inscribed Fan," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the Meiji Era of the 1860s. This masterpiece is part of Yoshitoshi's esteemed series, "Elegant Portraits of Actors." The print showcases Ichimura Kakitsu VIII, a prominent Kabuki actor of the time, in a full-length, formal portrait. Kakitsu wears an intricately designed kimono, the vibrant colors and patterns of which contrast beautifully against the monochromatic background. His hair is styled in an elaborate, traditional hairstyle, adorned with a striking, ornate headpiece. He holds a fan inscribed with calligraphy, adding an air of sophistication and elegance to the image. The actor gazes away from the viewer, lost in thought or contemplation, creating an enigmatic and intriguing atmosphere. The inset at the bottom of the print features the names of other notable Kabuki actors of the era, including Ichimura Kuroemon II and Ichimura Uzaemon XIII, further emphasizing the connection between the world of Kabuki theater and the art of woodblock printing during this period. This stunning, color woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Japan during the 19th century. The intricate details, from the textured fabric of Kakitsu's kimono to the delicate brushstrokes of the calligraphy, make this a truly captivating work of art. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this historic piece, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of Japanese art and its connection to the world of Kabuki theater.
