This print shows two Kabuki actors Ichimura Uzaemon right and Nakamura Utaemon left, and dates from 1840 and forms part of my own private collection of original woodblock prints.

During his lifetime, he produced a vast number of prints. He died in Edo, having made only one documented trip out of it in his whole life!"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Japanese Woodblock by Kunisada, the most renowned and beloved print designer of his time in Japan. The piece, dating back to 1840, features two esteemed Kabuki actors - Ichimura Uzaemon on the right and Nakamura Utaemon on the left. As an avid collector of original woodblock prints, this exquisite artwork holds a special place in my private collection. Kunisada's artistic journey began with actor prints, which were initially the specialty of the Utagawa school. However, he soon expanded his repertoire to include bijin-ga (depictions of beautiful women) and even landscapes. Throughout his prolific career, Kunisada produced an astounding number of prints that captivated audiences across Japan. Born in Edo in 1786, Kunisada rarely ventured beyond his hometown throughout his life; Edo was where he lived and breathed art until his passing. This fact adds an intriguing layer to understanding the artist's deep connection to Japanese culture and traditions. As I gaze upon this stunning woodblock print capturing these iconic Kabuki actors frozen in time, I am reminded of the rich heritage they represent - from their elaborate costumes and traditional ceremonies to their expressive performances on stage. It serves as a testament not only to Kunisada's immense talent but also to the enduring allure of Kabuki theater itself.
