EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Otani Tomoemon I in his role as Otsuma in the Kabuki play "Kabuki no Hana Bandai Soga," performed at the prestigious Ichimura Theater in the fourth month of 1781. The Edo Period (1603-1868) masterpiece is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa, specifically the Katsukawa Shunsho branch. Otani Tomoemon I, a celebrated actor of his time, is depicted in the image as the female character Otsuma. The use of vibrant colors, such as olive green and black, adds depth and allure to the print. The intricate details of the actor's accessories, including the elaborate kimono and hosoban (narrow obi), showcase the attention to detail and skillful technique of the artist. The concept of onnagata, or male actors portraying female roles, was a common practice in Kabuki theater during the eighteenth century. The actor's ability to convincingly embody the feminine role was a highly valued skill, and Otani Tomoemon I was known for his exceptional talent in this regard. This stunning work of art is a significant piece of Asian heritage, showcasing the rich history and cultural traditions of Japan during the Edo Period. The print is a must-see for anyone with an interest in the arts, fashion, or the history of Kabuki theater. With its intricate details and captivating subject matter, this woodblock print is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
