EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures a scene from the play "Hatsu Tora Kurama Genji" performed at the Ichimura Theater in 1749. The actors Matsumoto Koshiro II, Ichimura Kamezo I, and Sanogawa Ichimatsu I take center stage, portraying their respective characters with captivating intensity. Dressed in exquisite traditional costumes of the Edo period, these talented performers bring to life the intriguing tale of Kumasaka Chohan, Ise no Saburo, and Ushiwakamaru. Each actor embodies their character flawlessly, showcasing their mastery of both physicality and emotion. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable. The block printing technique used by Torii Kiyonobu II brings out every intricate element of the actors' attire - from the rich colors that adorn their clothing to the delicate patterns on their robes. The green hues dominate the composition, creating a visually striking contrast against other elements. One cannot help but be drawn into this dramatic world as they cross a bridge towards an unknown destiny. The cartouche framing adds an additional layer of depth to this already captivating image. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian art gallery, we are transported back to 18th-century Japan - a time when theater was not only entertainment but also an integral part of cultural expression. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance – preserving for us today a glimpse into Japan's theatrical heritage during its golden age.
