EDITORS COMMENTS
Utagawa Kunisada's print titled "Actor in the Role of Wrestler Hanaregoma no Chokichi" (c.1850) captures the intensity and drama of Kabuki theater during the Edo period in Japan. The one-sheet print from a triptych showcases Hanaregoma no Chokichi, a renowned actor of the Gototei Ichimanya theater troupe, in the role of a wrestler. Dressed in a brown checked kimono with a matching obi and knee-high boots, Chokichi exudes a sense of bad temper and a brooding disposition. His furrowed brow and clenched fist add to the metaphorical representation of the inner turmoil and emotional depth often portrayed in Kabuki drama. The interior setting of the print, with its intricate calligraphy and ornate decorative elements, contrasts the rough and rugged exterior of the wrestler. The use of color and the attention to detail in the clothing and accessories, such as the checkered gepparo and the lacquer carriage boots, add to the authenticity of the scene. The print is a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese art and the enduring influence of Kabuki theater on Japanese culture. This woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a captivating and thought-provoking piece, offering a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater and the lives of its actors during the 19th century. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this print in its collection, allowing us to appreciate and learn from the artistic achievements of the past.
