EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases two renowned Japanese actors, Arashi Hinasuke and Iwai Kumesaburo, in their respective roles as Minamoto no Raiko and Yosoi Hime during a theatrical performance between 1799 and 1801. Hinasuke, portraying Minamoto no Raiko, the legendary warrior and founder of the Minamoto clan, exudes strength and determination with his piercing gaze and clenched fist. In contrast, Kumesaburo, as Yosoi Hime, the beautiful and cunning princess of the Yosoi tribe, gracefully poses with a fan and a demure expression. The intricate details of their costumes and makeup are masterfully rendered in this exquisite woodcut print. Minamoto no Raiko is depicted in traditional warrior attire, complete with a helmet, armor, and a sword at his side. Yosoi Hime's elegant kimono, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, highlights her femininity and allure. Woodblock prints like this one were a popular form of visual entertainment in Japan during the Edo period. They allowed the masses to experience the excitement and drama of the theater, even if they could not attend live performances. This particular print is a testament to the skill and artistry of the woodblock printers and actors of the time, who brought these iconic characters to life for generations to enjoy.
