EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, created by Torii Kiyonobu I in the early 18th century, showcases Ichikawa Monnosuke as a Sarumawashi or Monkey Showman. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this fascinating scene from Japan's Edo period. In the image, we see Ichikawa Monnosuke standing proudly in full-length attire, embodying the role of a monkey showman. His expressive face and dynamic posture reveal his mastery as an actor. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this traditional form of entertainment that captivated audiences during that era. The presence of monkeys adds an element of playfulness to the composition. These intelligent creatures were trained to perform tricks and entertain spectators with their antics. They symbolize both companionship and mischief, creating a delightful contrast against Monnosuke's serious demeanor. Torii Kiyonobu I's expertise in ukiyo-e woodblock printing is evident in every brushstroke and color choice. This art form was highly popular during the Edo period for its ability to depict scenes from everyday life with great precision. As we admire this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a window into Japanese culture centuries ago. It reminds us of the rich artistic heritage that continues to inspire generations today. Through this print, we can appreciate not only the talent of Torii Kiyonobu I but also gain insight into the vibrant world of traditional Japanese theater
