EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artistry of Yanagawa Shigenobu, a renowned Japanese artist from the 19th century. Titled "Hinazuru of Naka Ogi-ya as an Onna Jittoku" this polychrome woodblock print captures the essence of traditional Japanese entertainment during the Edo period. The image depicts a male actor, dressed in elaborate theatrical attire and assuming the role of Hinazuru, a character from Naka Ogi-ya theater. With meticulous attention to detail, Shigenobu portrays every aspect of the actor's appearance - from his intricate hairstyle to his hand-held fan. The vibrant colors and delicate lines used in this ukiyo-e artwork bring life to the scene, immersing viewers into a world filled with drama and emotion. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is proud to house this masterpiece within its collection, preserving Japan's rich artistic heritage for generations to come. Yanagawa Shigenobu was known for his contributions to the artistic school during this era. His skillful printing techniques and ability to capture human expression made him one of Japan's most celebrated artists. Through works like these, he transported audiences into realms where actors became characters that both entertained and inspired. This woodblock print serves as a testament not only to Shigenobu's talent but also as a window into Japan's cultural history. It invites us all to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that defined entertainment in 19th-century Japan
