EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the actors Ichikawa Danjuro VII as Kan Shojo (Sugawara Michizane) and Segawa Kikunojo V as Umeomaru in a mesmerizing performance of the play "Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami". Created by the renowned artist Utagawa Kunisada, this 19th-century woodblock print showcases the exquisite artistry and skill of both the actors and the printmaker. The vibrant colors, including shades of blue and brown, bring life to their elaborate costumes. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from their clothing dress to their cloud-like surroundings. The actors' expressions convey a sense of drama and intensity that captivates viewers. Kabuki theater was an integral part of Japanese entertainment during the Edo period, known for its unique blend of music, dance, and dramatic performances. In this particular image, we witness not only exceptional acting but also gender-bending as Segawa Kikunojo V portrays a female character with remarkable authenticity. Utagawa Kunisada's masterful technique in block printing adds depth and dimension to this artwork. The composition is framed within a cartouche that further enhances its artistic appeal. As you gaze upon this print at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery or center fortunate enough to house it, let yourself be transported back in time to experience the rich heritage and cultural significance of Kabuki theater in Japan.
