The actor Ichimura Kakitsu IV captivatingly embodies the female role of Ikazuchi no Otsuru in this stunning 19th-century woodblock print by Kunisada II. Dressed in a vibrant kimono, Kakitsu effortlessly blurs the lines between genders, showcasing his exceptional talent as an actor. The intricate details and vivid colors of the nishiki-e technique bring life to this portrayal, capturing every nuance of expression on Kakitsu's face. His eyes sparkle with emotion, drawing viewers into the scene and making them feel a part of the performance. This print is not just a mere depiction of an actor; it is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and theatrical traditions of Japan. The artist skillfully captures both the elegance and strength that define traditional Japanese aesthetics. As we admire this artwork from Ashmolean Museum's collection, we are reminded of how art has always been at the forefront of challenging societal norms. In an era when cross-dressing was considered taboo, Kakitsu fearlessly embraces his feminine side through his portrayal on stage. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into both historical fashion trends and timeless human expressions. It serves as a reminder that beauty knows no boundaries or limitations – it transcends gender roles and cultural barriers. Kakitsu's performance as Ikazuchi no Otsuru continues to captivate audiences even after all these years, reminding us that true artistry can transcend time.
