EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, created by Toshusai Sharaku in the late 18th century, showcases the renowned actor Segawa Tomisaburo II as the Courtesan Toyama and Actor Ichikawa Kurizo as Higashiyama Yoshiwakamaru. The piece belongs to the Edo period, a time of flourishing artistic expression in Japan. In this stunning portrayal, we witness Segawa Tomisaburo II embodying the graceful allure of Toyama, while Ichikawa Kurizo brings to life the character of Higashiyama Yoshiwakamaru. Both actors captivate us with their full-length presence on stage, showcasing their exceptional talent and dedication to their craft. The artistry displayed in this woodblock print is truly remarkable. Sharaku's masterful use of ink and color on paper creates a vivid representation that transports us back to a world filled with entertainment and cultural richness. This piece exemplifies ukiyo-e, a popular genre during that era which depicted scenes from everyday life. Notably, this print also highlights an intriguing aspect of Japanese theater: male actors portraying female characters known as "onnagata" or "oyama". Such cross-dressing performances were highly valued for their ability to convey femininity with great skill and authenticity. Today, this exquisite artwork can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. It
