EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the remarkable talent of Kataoka Nizaemon, a renowned actor of the 18th century. Created by Katsukawa Shun'ei, an esteemed artist of that era, this woodcut print showcases Nizaemon in all his glory. The full-length portrait captures Nizaemon facing left, exuding a sense of confidence and poise. Dressed in an elaborate ceremonial costume, he embodies the essence of traditional Japanese theater. The vibrant colors used in this woodcut add depth and richness to the portrayal, enhancing our appreciation for both the artistry involved and Nizaemon's theatrical presence. Kataoka Nizaemon was celebrated for his exceptional skills on stage during his lifetime (1762-1819). This particular print is believed to have been created around 1793 but printed later. It serves as a testament to both Shun'ei's artistic prowess and Nizaemon's enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we can't help but be captivated by its beauty and historical significance. Quint Lox has skillfully captured not only the essence of this artwork but also its cultural importance within Japanese history. Through their lens, they invite us into a world filled with drama and tradition - a moment frozen in time that continues to inspire awe today.
