EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Komuso Monks: A Captivating Moment from the Eighteenth Century Japanese Theater This exquisite color woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho in 1792, captures a mesmerizing moment from the world of Kabuki theater in Japan during the Edo period. The image showcases three prominent actors of the time, Ichikawa Ebizo (Danjuro V) as Kudo Suketsune (right), Ichikawa Monnosuke II as Soga no Juro Sukenari (center), and Ichikawa Omezo I as Soga no Goro Tokimune (left), in Act Six of the play 'Waka Murasaki Edokko Soga' (Pale Purple Soga, Edo Style), performed at the Ichimura Theater. The actors are depicted in their intricately designed costumes, which were an essential part of Kabuki performances. Ebizo's character, Kudo Suketsune, wears a vibrant red and gold ensemble, complete with a tall, ornate hat adorned with a phoenix crest. Monnosuke II, as Soga no Juro Sukenari, dons a striking blue and white outfit, while Omezo I, as Soga no Goro Tokimune, is dressed in a rich brown and gold attire. The trio is shown standing before a fence, possibly a symbol of the boundary between their world and the outside. The actors' intense expressions and poses convey the dramatic intensity of the scene, while the intricate details of their clothing and accessories showcase the artistic skill and creativity of the time. This print is a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese art and the enduring allure of Kabuki theater. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of a bygone era.
