EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, depicts Nakamura Nakazo I in the role of Kusunoki Masayuki, disguised as Uji no Joetsu, in the Kabuki play Go Taiheiki Shirishi-banashi. Performed at the Morita Theater in the fourth month of 1780, this print is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Edo-period Japan. Kusunoki Masayuki, a legendary samurai warrior, is known for his unwavering loyalty and bravery in the face of adversity. In this scene, he is disguised as Uji no Joetsu, a humble farmer, to infiltrate the enemy camp during the Battle of Minatogawa. Masayuki's disguise is meticulously rendered in the print, with intricate details of his clothing and accessories. He wears a simple, hosoban kimono in a muted green color, with a wide-brimmed hat and a bamboo staff in hand. Hidden beneath his disguise, however, is the sharp blade of his katana, ready to be unsheathed at a moment's notice. The print is a masterpiece of color woodblock printing, with vibrant hues and bold lines that bring the scene to life. The background features a banner with the play's title and the names of the actors, including Katsukawa Shunsho and Miyagawa Yusuke. The print also includes a flag with the crest of the Morita Theater, adding to its historical significance. Overall, this stunning work of art showcases the beauty and complexity of Kabuki theater during the eighteenth century and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
