EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ichimura Kamezo in the Role of Kanto Koroku, ca. 1760?" showcases the incredible artistry and talent of Torii Kiyomitsu during Japan's Edo period. The image depicts a full-length portrait of Ichimura Kamezo, a renowned actor from the eighteenth century, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. Kamezo's vibrant kimono is adorned with intricate patterns that beautifully complement his surroundings. The polychrome woodblock print captures every detail with precision and skill, showcasing the mastery of Torii Kiyomitsu as an artist. In this scene, we witness Kamezo immersed in his role as he holds a shamisen, a traditional musical instrument used in puppet shows and theatrical performances. His intense gaze suggests that he is fully absorbed in his character's emotions and story. The backdrop features calligraphy and artistic elements that enhance the overall composition of the print. This piece not only reflects the rich heritage art of Japan but also provides insight into the entertainment culture prevalent during this era. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this remarkable work serves as a testament to both Torii Kiyomitsu's artistic prowess and Ichimura Kamezo's contribution to Japanese theater. Through their collaboration, they have created an enduring masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences even centuries later.
