EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Omiya Kinsha" showcases the renowned actor Nakayama Tomisaburo I in his role as Ohide, the wife of Sazanami Tatsugoro. Created by the talented artist Toshusai Sharaku in 1794 during Japan's Edo period, this piece is a true testament to the rich heritage of Asian arts. The image captures Nakayama Tomisaburo I dressed in traditional Japanese attire, adorned with an exquisite kimono and a stunning rose-colored hair ornament known as kanzashi. His elaborate hairstyle perfectly complements his character's feminine disguise, highlighting the artistry involved in onnagata or female impersonation roles within Kabuki theater. Sharaku's masterful block printing technique brings out intricate details such as clothing patterns and facial expressions, adding depth and realism to this portrayal. The use of color woodblock prints adds vibrancy to an otherwise monochromatic composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from centuries past at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery, we are transported back to a time when drama and entertainment were brought to life through theatrical performances like Kabuki. This print serves as a reminder of Japan's cultural legacy and artistic prowess that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
