EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Nakamura Noshio I as the Goddess Benzaiten of Enoshima in the Play Onno Aruji," was created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the eighteenth century. The print depicts the famous Japanese actor Nakamura Noshio I, dressed as the goddess Benzaiten, a deity revered in Shinto and Buddhism, known for her beauty, music, and ability to grant wishes. The scene is set at the Morita Theater, where Noshio performed in the play "Onno Aruji Hatsuyuki no Sekai" in the eleventh month of 1773. Noshio's striking costume, designed in the traditional hosoban style, features vibrant green coloration, symbolizing new growth and renewal. The goddess is depicted holding a bow and arrow, a common attribute of Benzaiten, representing her power and protection. The print is a masterpiece of the Katsukawa School, which was known for its innovative and expressive designs. The use of color woodblock printing was a popular artistic medium during the Edo period in Japan, and this print is a prime example of the skill and artistry of the time. The intricate details of Noshio's clothing, the rich green color, and the bold lines of the print all come together to create a stunning visual representation of the goddess Benzaiten. This print is not only a testament to the artistic school of the time but also to the enduring legacy of Japanese theater and mythology.
