EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Otani Hiroemon in the role of Gokumon no Shobei during the 9th month of 1774. Created by the renowned artist Shunsho, this polychrome woodblock print showcases the talent and artistry of both the actor and the painter. In this full-length depiction, Otani Hiroemon is seen barefoot, emphasizing his dedication to his craft as he immerses himself in character. The vibrant colors used by Shunsho bring life to every detail, from the intricate patterns on Hiroemon's robe to his expressive facial features. The setting transports us back to Japan's Edo period, a time when entertainment was highly valued and theater flourished. As one of its leading actors, Otani Hiroemon captivated audiences with his skillful performances and ability to embody various roles. This piece is a testament to Japanese heritage art and ukiyo-e printing techniques that were prevalent during the eighteenth century.
