EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Actor Ichikawa Sadanji I as Fusakichi the Fishmonger, 10th month, late 19th century," is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese artist Toyohara Kunichika. Part of his "Mirror of Popular Actors of the Day (Jidai Sewa Haiyu Kagami)" series, this print showcases Ichikawa Sadanji I in the role of Fusakichi, a fishmonger. The actor's expressive face and animated body language convey the energy and intensity of the Kabuki theater, a traditional form of Japanese entertainment that was immensely popular during the Meiji Era (late 19th century). Ichikawa Sadanji I is depicted with a distinctive hairstyle, adorned with a pink rose, which was fashionable among Kabuki actors during this period. His hair is meticulously styled and dressed in an elegant, flowing robe, adding to the theatricality of the image. The background is filled with vibrant colors, creating a striking contrast against the actor's intricately detailed face and body. The print is a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese art and the enduring appeal of Kabuki theater. It invites us to explore the world of Meiji-era Japan, a time when the country was undergoing significant cultural and social changes. Today, this woodblock print is a cherished piece in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of Japan's artistic and theatrical traditions.
