EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ichikawa Bennosuke as a Man in Komuso Attire during the Edo period in Japan. Created by Shunsho, a renowned artist of the 18th century, this polychrome woodblock print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. Ichikawa Bennosuke, an esteemed actor and flutist, is depicted here in full-length attire that represents the traditional clothing of that era. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns on his garments reflect the artistic school of Katsukawa Shunshō, known for its exquisite portrayal of actors and theatrical scenes. The focus is drawn towards Ichikawa Bennosuke's flute-playing skills as he stands confidently with his musical instrument. His footwear includes platform shoes called geta, which were popular during this time period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture and entertainment from centuries ago. The ink and color on paper technique used by Shunsho adds depth to the image while capturing every fine detail with precision. As we admire this remarkable woodblock print, we are transported back in time to witness Ichikawa Bennosuke's talent as both an actor and musician. It serves as a testament to the rich history of ukiyo-e prints and their significant contribution to Japanese artistry.
