EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, created by Katsukawa Shunko in the late 18th century, captures a powerful moment from the world of Kabuki theater. Titled "Kabuki Actors Arashi Ryuzo II and Segawa Kikunojo III" it showcases two renowned performers in their captivating roles. The image portrays Arashi Ryuzo II and Segawa Kikunojo III, both dressed in exquisite traditional costumes against a wintry backdrop. The actors' intense expressions and dynamic hand gestures convey a palpable sense of anger and fury. Their full-length figures dominate the composition, drawing viewers into their dramatic performance. Kabuki theater was immensely popular during Japan's Edo period, known for its flamboyant acting style and elaborate stagecraft. This print exemplifies the artistry of ukiyo-e, a genre that flourished during this era depicting scenes from everyday life or entertainment. Notably, Segawa Kikunojo III is portrayed as an onnagata or female impersonator—a common practice in Kabuki where male actors played female roles with great skill and finesse. This aspect adds another layer of intrigue to the artwork. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. Its vivid colors and meticulous details showcase Shunko's mastery as an artist while offering us a glimpse into the theatrical traditions of 18th-century Japan. With its
