EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Nakamura Tomijuro I as a Female Fox from Mt. Ubagadake in the Play Chigo," dates back to the eighteenth century in Japan. Created by the renowned artist Shunsho, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the Katsukawa School. The print depicts the famous actor Nakamura Tomijuro I in the role of a female fox spirit, Kitsune Ga, from the play "Chigo Torii Tobiiri Kitsune." The actor is shown wearing a stunning hosoban kimono, a narrow-width kimono, in black color with intricate white patterns, accessorized with a traditional obi sash and a fan. Tomijuro's expressive face and piercing gaze convey the mischievous yet alluring nature of the fox spirit. The print was created during the Edo period and was likely produced for the Kabuki theater, a popular form of Japanese drama and entertainment. The actor's dramatic pose, with one hand on his hip and the other gesturing towards the mountain in the background, adds to the theatricality of the print. The mountain landscape in the background, with its towering trees and misty atmosphere, further enhances the mystical quality of the image. This print is a rare example of the art of female impersonation in Kabuki theater during the Edo period. The fox spirit, or Kitsune, is a common figure in Japanese mythology and folklore, often depicted as a shape-shifting creature with magical powers. This print not only showcases the skill and artistry of the actor and the artist, but also provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the eighteenth century.
