EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, we are transported to a memorial performance of the legendary actor Iwai Hanshiro VI. The scene depicts Hanshiro standing tall and proud, facing slightly left, as he holds a dish filled with rice cakes - a symbolic offering to honor the departed. At his feet, a child is seen clutching a broadside or paper gameboard, perhaps representing the passing down of theatrical traditions from one generation to another. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this artwork bring life to the historical moment captured within its frame. Kuniyoshi's masterful craftsmanship shines through as he skillfully portrays every fold in Hanshiro's elegant robe and captures the expressions on both his face and that of the young child. This print serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It offers us a glimpse into the world of traditional Japanese theater and pays homage to one of its most celebrated actors. Quint Lox has expertly curated this piece from Liszt Collection, ensuring that it continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance for years to come.
