EDITORS COMMENTS
Actors Arashi Otohachi III and Iwai Kumesaburo II," showcases the renowned Kabuki actors of the 19th century, Arashi Otohachi III and Iwai Kumesaburo II, in a scene from the play "Sekai no Hana Oguri Gaiden." The father-daughter duo is depicted in a full-length, indoor setting, with a sense of apprehension and tension in the air. Arashi Otohachi III, portrayed on the left, wears a striking blue and gold kimono, his expression serious and focused as he gazes intently at his daughter, played by Iwai Kumesaburo II. The young actress dons a delicate pink kimono, her face etched with concern and anxiety. The actors' intricately designed costumes, reminiscent of the Edo period, are a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese arts and fashion. The interior of the scene is adorned with traditional Japanese decor, including a tatami mat floor, shoji screens, and a low table with a tea set. The actors' poses, particularly the father's protective stance and the daughter's submissive kneeling position, convey the complex dynamics of the father-daughter relationship and the drama of Kabuki theatre. This beautiful woodblock print, created by the masterful hand of Utagawa Kunisada, is a rare glimpse into the world of 19th-century Japanese acting and family life. It is a valuable addition to the collection of any art or Asian art enthusiast, and a stunning example of the artistic achievements of the Edo period."
