EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of actor Matsumoto Yamakichi in all his glory. Created by Kiyomitsu, Torii during the 18th century, this colour woodblock print showcases the talent and artistry of both the artist and the subject. In this image, we see Yamakichi standing proudly under a blossoming cherry tree, symbolizing beauty and transience. With a hawk perched on his left hand, held securely with jesses, he exudes power and control. The juxtaposition of the delicate cherry blossoms against Yamakichi's strong presence creates a visually striking composition. Yamakichi was renowned for his performances on stage as a samurai warrior. His portrayal of these noble characters brought them to life with intensity and authenticity. This print serves as a testament to his skillful acting abilities that captivated audiences during that era. The intricate details captured in this woodblock print highlight not only Yamakichi's physical appearance but also convey emotions through subtle facial expressions. It is evident that every stroke made by Kiyomitsu was deliberate and purposeful, resulting in an exquisite piece of artwork. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Japanese theatrical history while showcasing the timeless beauty found within traditional woodblock prints.
