EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating triptych woodblock print by Katsukawa Shunko that offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. The scene unfolds in the renowned red light district of Yoshiwara, where entertainment and pleasure reigned supreme. The central panel showcases an exquisite interior adorned with traditional Japanese decor. A group of elegantly dressed men gathers around a low tea table, engrossed in conversation and revelry. Their colorful robes and elaborate hairstyles reflect their status as actors or performers from the artistic school. One figure stands out among them - Kiyokawa Denjiro, a male actor portraying an onnagata or female impersonator. Donning intricate feminine attire and makeup, he exudes grace and poise while captivating his audience with his theatrical prowess. Surrounding this focal point are two side panels depicting other scenes within the room. One features Kotsubo, another male performer known for his skillful portrayal of women characters on stage. The other panel reveals glimpses of everyday life in Yoshiwara, showcasing people engaged in various activities against a backdrop filled with color and energy. Katsukawa Shunko's masterful use of ink and color brings this historical moment to life, capturing both the opulence and allure that characterized this unique era in Japanese history. This remarkable artwork now resides at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection
