EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Begonias of Mount Ashigara (Ashigarayama no shukaido): Bando Hikosaburo V as Yamauba, from the series 'Contemporary Versions of Thirty-six Selected Flowers'" takes us back to 1862 Japan. Created by Utagawa Kunisada, a renowned artist of the Edo period, this piece showcases the vibrant world of kabuki theater. In this image, we see Bando Hikosaburo V in his mesmerizing portrayal of Yamauba, a female character known for her strength and wisdom. The actor's elaborate costume and striking makeup capture our attention immediately. Dressed in an exquisite chirimen e kimono adorned with intricate floral patterns, he embodies the essence of traditional Japanese fashion. The use of color woodblock printing adds depth and richness to the composition. The blue cartouche surrounding Bando Hikosaburo V creates a focal point that draws us into his performance. The lush green background represents Mount Ashigara, adding a geographical element to the artwork. As we admire this print at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to possess it, we are transported to another time and place. We can almost hear the melodious sounds of kabuki music and feel the excitement emanating from the stage. Utagawa Kunisada's skillful depiction captures not only an iconic moment in Japanese theater but also provides us with a glimpse into centuries-old traditions that continue to captivate audiences today.
