EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Segawa Kikunojo III in the role of the courtesan Kisewata, or Tagasode, in the Kabuki play "Hana-zumo Genji Hiiki," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1775. Kikunojo III, a prominent actor of the Katsukawa School, masterfully portrays the feminine character in this dramatic production. The print, a stunning example of eighteenth-century Japanese art, showcases the intricate details of Kisewata's traditional Japanese attire. The courtesan's kimono, adorned with delicate floral patterns, is layered over a hosoban under-robe, adding depth and texture to the costume. The vibrant colors of the print, including the rich browns and deep reds, bring the figure to life, transporting the viewer to the world of Kabuki theater. The print also highlights the artistry of the actor's makeup and hairstyle, essential elements of the onnagata tradition, in which male actors portrayed female roles. Kisewata's long, flowing wig and delicate facial features are expertly rendered, further emphasizing the actor's commitment to his craft. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period, a time of cultural flourishing and innovation. The intricacies of the print, from the detailed clothing to the expressive facial features, showcase the skill and artistry of Shunsho and the Katsukawa School. A true treasure for any art lover or student of Japanese history and culture.
