EDITORS COMMENTS

His bare feet firmly planted on the floor symbolize his connection to both earth and stage, emphasizing his commitment to portraying characters with utmost authenticity. The artist's skillful use of ink and color on paper brings life to every aspect of this composition - from the rich hues adorning Sojuro's elaborate costume to the subtle play of light and shadow within the room. The meticulous attention given to each brushstroke reflects Shun'ei's dedication to capturing not only physical likeness but also conveying emotional depth through art. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported into an era where actors like Sawamura Sojuro III were revered as cultural icons. Through their performances in ukiyo-e theater prints like these, they entertained audiences while preserving Japan's artistic heritage.
