EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Segawa KikunojAc no hashihime" we are transported to the world of traditional Japanese theater. The artist, Utagawa Toyokuni, skillfully captures the essence of Segawa KikunojAc, a renowned actor of his time, as he takes on the role of Hashihime. Standing proudly in front of a decorative screen, Segawa KikunojAc commands our attention with his full-length portrait. His vibrant and colorful attire reflects the elegance and grace expected from an onnagata performer - those who specialize in female roles. With great poise and artistry, he embodies Hashihime from "The Tale of Genji" specifically chapter 45 known as "Lady at the Bridge". As we gaze upon this print measuring 38.5 x 26.4 cm, we can't help but be drawn into Segawa KikunojAc's portrayal. His expressive face and confident stance bring life to this iconic character from Japanese literature. Utagawa Toyokuni's mastery shines through in every detail - from the intricate patterns on Segawa KikunojAc's costume to the delicate lines that form his figure against a backdrop reminiscent of traditional Japanese aesthetics. This print is not just a visual delight; it also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved within Japan's theatrical traditions. Quint Lox has captured its beauty for us all to appreciate in this stunning addition to Liszt
