EDITORS COMMENTS
Nakamura Nakazo I as Tezuka no Taro Mitsumori Disguised as the Monkey Trainer Tonkichi Tochibei," is a masterpiece by the renowned artist Shunsho, created in Japan during the 18th century. The print, which is part of the rich artistic heritage of Asia, depicts the famous Kabuki actor Nakamura Nakazo I in the role of Tezuka no Taro Mitsumori, disguised as the monkey trainer Tonkichi Tochibei, in the play "Soga Moyo Aigo no Wakamatsu." The actor is shown in a striking pose, standing barefoot on a wooden stage, with a katana blade tucked into his obi sash. He is dressed in the traditional Japanese clothing of the time, including a colorful kimono and hosoban pants. The monkey trainer's disguise includes a green jacket and a headpiece adorned with monkey ears and a tail. The print is a prime example of the Katsukawa School's influence on Japanese art during the Edo period. Shunsho's skillful use of color woodblock printing is evident in the vibrant greens of the monkey trainer's costume and the intricate details of the actor's facial expression and body language. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater and the elaborate costumes and disguises used by actors to bring their characters to life. It is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Japan and the enduring appeal of its cultural heritage." This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of theater, Japanese culture, or the art of woodblock printing. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
