EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the 18th century, showcases three prominent Kabuki actors of Japan in their roles from the play "Kuni no Hana Ono no Itsumoji." The actors depicted are Ichikawa Yaozo II as Yoshimine no Munesada (right), Yoshizawa Sakinosuke III as Shizuya (center), and Nakamura Matsue I as Sakuragi (left). The scene is believed to have been performed at the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1771. The actors' apparel is a testament to the intricate details and vibrant colors of the Edo period. Ichikawa Yaozo II, portraying Yoshimine no Munesada, wears a traditional samurai outfit with a formal kimono and a sword at his side. Yoshizawa Sakinosuke III, as Shizuya, is dressed in feminine clothing, a common practice in Kabuki theater for male actors to portray female characters. Nakamura Matsue I, as Sakuragi, is seen wearing a simple, yet elegant kimono. The print is a beautiful example of the Katsukawa School's artistic style, with meticulous attention to detail and a rich use of color. The actors' expressions and poses convey a sense of drama and emotion, transporting the viewer to the world of Kabuki theater. The print also provides a glimpse into the fashion and cultural practices of Japan during the eighteenth century. This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and its preservation ensures that future generations can appreciate the rich artistic heritage of Japan.
