EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Nakamura Noshio II as Sakuramaru, a renowned kabuki actor from the late 18th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this woodblock print by Enkyo Kabukido bring to life the expressive face and powerful presence of Noshio II. Standing at 36.3x26.2 cm, this artwork is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA. In this portrayal, Noshio II embodies the essence of a skilled warrior with his sword held firmly in hand. His traditional Japanese hairstyle and robe further emphasize his character's role within the performance. This piece belongs to the yakusha-e genre, which focuses on depicting actors in their theatrical roles during Japan's Edo period. The artist masterfully captures Noshio II's intensity and dedication to his craft through every stroke of the woodblock print. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - an actor fully immersed in his art form. With its historical significance and cultural richness, this artwork serves as a testament to both Noshio II's talent as an actor and Enkyo Kabukido's skill as an artist. It stands as a reminder of Japan's rich artistic heritage and continues to inspire admiration for kabuki theater even today.
