EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, depicts Nakamura Nakazo I in the role of Akugenda Yoshira, disguised as a pilgrim in the Kabuki play "Chigo Torii Tobiiri Kitsune," performed at the Ichimura Theater in the eleventh month of 1777 in Japan. The Edo Period (1603-1868) actor is shown barefoot and dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, including a grey hosoban kimono and a colourful obi sash. His costume is adorned with intricate patterns, reflecting the artistic school of Katsukawa. The concept of disguise was a common theme in Kabuki drama, allowing actors to portray multiple characters and add depth to their performances. In this print, Nakamura Nakazo masterfully embodies the role of Akugenda Yoshira, a pilgrim who encounters a fox spirit in the play. The artist, Katsumiyagawa Yusuke, expertly captures the actor's expressive face and the subtle details of his costume, showcasing the skill and artistry of the Katsukawa School. This woodblock print is a valuable piece of Asian art, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the eighteenth century. The image of Nakamura Nakazo I as Akugenda Yoshira, disguised as a pilgrim, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Kabuki theatre and the art of theatre in Japan.
