EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Matsumoto Koshiro II in the role of Kagekiyo, disguised as Omi Yawatanosuke, in the Kabuki play "Haru wa Soga Akebono-zoshi," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the First Month of 1772 in Japan. The Edo Period (1603-1868) came to life through the vibrant colors and intricate details of this Chuban print. Kagekiyo, a vengeful samurai, is depicted in the image wearing a disguise to infiltrate the enemy's camp. He dons the clothing and appearance of Omi Yawatanosuke, complete with a bow and quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder. The horse and horseback in the background add to the sense of action and adventure, while the lime green color of Kagekiyo's kimono and the horse's trappings contrast sharply against the muted tones of the forest setting. This print is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa, specifically Shunsho, who masterfully captured the essence of the Kabuki drama and the spirit of the Edo Period. The intricacies of the costume design, the attention to detail in the animal portrayals, and the dramatic pose of the actor all contribute to the captivating allure of this work of art. The print is a valuable piece of Asian heritage and a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Japan during the eighteenth century. It invites us to look back at a time when the arts held a central place in the lives of the people and the world of Kabuki theater was a source of entertainment and fascination.
