EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro II in his iconic role as Soga no Goro no Tokimune, from the play Yanone Goro. The image is part of a series dedicated to honoring the esteemed Ichikawa Danjuro actors, with the explicit approval and seal of Ichikawa Danjuro VII himself. Ichikawa Danjuro II (1688-1758) was renowned for his exceptional talent and commanding stage presence, making him one of the most celebrated figures in Kabuki theater history. This particular portrayal captures his mastery as he embodies the character of Soga no Goro no Tokimune with intensity and grace. The woodcut print, created by Toyokuni I under Utagawa's supervision in Japan during 1830, beautifully captures every intricate detail of Ichikawa Danjuro II's costume and expression. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment on stage, while an added pattern in the margin adds an extra touch of elegance. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to a time when Kabuki theater reigned supreme. It serves as a testament not only to Ichikawa Danjuro II's immense talent but also to the enduring legacy of the entire Danjuro family of Kabuki actors. This print from Liszt Collection is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates centuries' worth of theatrical tradition and pays homage to those who have shaped Japanese performing arts.
