EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases two prominent Kabuki actors of the Edo period in Japan: Ichimura Uzaemon IX as Hata no Daizen Taketora, disguised as the Yakko Matahe, and Iwai Hanshiro IV as Umegae, disguised as the Poem-Diviner Omatsu. The scene is taken from the play "Mukashi Otoko Yuki no Hinagata," which was performed at the Ichimura Theater in the eleventh month of 1781. Uzaemon, dressed in a striking grey kimono with intricate patterns and accessories, masterfully portrays Hata no Daizen Taketora, who is disguised as the Yakko Matahei, a female entertainer. His expressive face and confident posture convey the character's mischievous and alluring nature. On the left side of the print, Hanshiro, wearing a vibrant kimono and a distinctive hat, portrays Umegae, who is disguised as the Poem-Diviner Omatsu. Hanshiro's skillful acting and attention to detail are evident in his portrayal of the fortune teller, complete with a fan and a traditional divination tool. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa, specifically the Katsukawa Shunsho, which was known for its innovative and expressive style. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the characters to life, transporting the viewer to the world of Kabuki theater in 18th century Japan. This print is not only a valuable piece of heritage art but also a fascinating glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater and the elaborate costumes and disguises used by the actors. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
