EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the renowned Japanese actor Iwai Kumesaburo in the role of Oritsu, a tragic and dramatic character from the classical Japanese theater. The image, created by the masterful hands of Kunisada and Utagawa, two of the most celebrated artists of the Edo period, showcases the depth and nuance of Kumesaburo's acting abilities. Oritsu, a character from the Noh and Kabuki plays, is a complex and melancholic figure, often portrayed as a woman who has been abandoned or betrayed by her husband. In this print, Kumesaburo's expressive face and poised body language convey the deep sadness and emotional turmoil that lies beneath the surface of the character. The intricately detailed costume and the dramatic setting of the print further enhance the sense of drama and fine art. The rich colors and bold lines of the print are a testament to the artists' mastery of their craft, and the overall effect is one of beauty and emotional resonance. This print is a rare and valuable glimpse into the world of Japanese theater during the Edo period, and a testament to the enduring power of the performing arts to move and inspire us. Iwai Kumesaburo's portrayal of Oritsu is a reminder of the depth and complexity of human emotion, and a reminder of the timeless appeal of the theater as a source of art and entertainment.
