EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Actor Iwai Hanshiro IV in the Sangai-gasa (Triple-Umbrella) Dance Interlude of Kuni no Hana Ono no Itsumoji (Flower of Japan: Ono no Komachi's Five Characters)," was created by the renowned artist Shunsho in 1771. The print showcases Iwai Hanshiro IV, a prominent Kabuki actor of the Edo period, performing in the Sangai-gasa dance interlude from Part Two of the play "Kuni no Hana Ono no Itsumoji." During this interlude, Iwai Hanshiro IV, dressed in a beige and brown hosoban kimono, portrays a female impersonator, adorned with accessories such as a triple-umbrella and flowers in his hair. The artist masterfully captures the actor's expressive face and the fluidity of his movements, as he dances barefoot on the stage. The print is an excellent example of the Katsukawa School's artistic style, with its intricate color woodblock printing and attention to detail. The use of color and the artist's skillful brushwork add depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning work of art. This print is a valuable heritage piece, providing a glimpse into the rich history of Japanese Kabuki theater and the artistic schools that flourished during the Edo period. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese art and culture, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our artistic heritage.
