The Actor Ichikawa Danjuro II as Soga no Goro, c. 1728 - A Captivating Display of Edo Period Drama
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured woodblock print by Okumura Masanobu captures the essence of traditional Japanese theatre during the Edo period. The focal point is the renowned kabuki actor, Ichikawa Danjuro II, who brilliantly portrays the character of Soga no Goro. Dressed in vibrant and meticulously detailed clothing, Danjuro II exudes power and intensity as he brandishes a samurai sword. His full-length attire showcases the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of this era, from his elegant robes to his patten footwear known as geta. The artist's skillful use of colour brings life to every aspect of this composition. From the rich hues adorning Danjuro II's costume to the subtle shades that enhance his facial expression, each stroke adds depth and emotion to this scene. As we admire this masterpiece at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Asia gallery, we are transported back in time to witness a mesmerizing performance on stage. The image not only serves as a testament to Japan's artistic heritage but also offers us a glimpse into an era when theatre was more than just entertainment—it was an immersive experience that celebrated tradition and storytelling. Okumura Masanobu's work reminds us why these historical prints continue to captivate audiences worldwide— they allow us to appreciate both the beauty and cultural significance behind centuries-old artistic expressions like kabuki theatre.
