EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Monnosuke II in the role of Soga no Goro Tokimune from the play "Haru wa Soga" performed at the Nakamura Theater during the First Month of 1772 in Japan. The eighteenth-century print, part of a triptych, exhibits the actor in mid-performance, holding a flaming torch and dressed in the traditional hosoban kimono. The vibrant green color dominates the print, adding a sense of drama and intensity to the scene. Ichikawa Monnosuke II, also known as Ichikawa Denzo I or Ichikawa III Monnosuke, was a prominent Kabuki actor of the Edo Period. His portrayal of Soga no Goro Tokimune in "Haru wa Soga" was highly acclaimed for its emotional depth and masterful delivery. The play, a tragic tale of love and revenge, was a popular choice for Kabuki performances during this era. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa, which flourished during the Edo Period and is known for its intricate details and expressive figures. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable piece of heritage art. The print also showcases the fashion of the time, with the intricate patterns and designs of the kimono, reflecting the cultural heritage of Japan. The burning torch in the actor's hand adds a sense of urgency and excitement, further enhancing the overall impact of the print.
