EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Japanese theater in the late 18th century. The image showcases two renowned actors, Nidaime Sawamura Yodogoro II and Bandō Zenji, in their iconic roles as Kawatsura Hōgen and Oni Sadobē respectively. The woodcut technique used by Toshūsai Sharaku beautifully brings out the intricate details of their costumes and expressions. The vibrant colors add depth to the characters' emotions, making them come alive on paper. Nidaime Sawamura Yodogoro II's portrayal of Kawatsura Hōgen is nothing short of mesmerizing. His intense gaze and powerful stance exude authority and strength, capturing the essence of this legendary character from Japanese folklore. Opposite him stands Bandō Zenji as Oni Sadobē, a role that demands both physicality and theatrical prowess. With his menacing posture and fierce expression, Zenji embodies the spirit of this demonic figure with remarkable precision. Together, these two actors create an electrifying atmosphere on stage that captivates audiences with every performance. Their chemistry is palpable even in this still image, leaving viewers yearning for more. Quint Lox's expertly captured photograph preserves this momentous collaboration between Nidaime Sawamura Yodogoro II and Bandō Zenji for generations to come. It serves as a testament to their immense talent and contribution to Japanese theater history.
