EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print from 1865 depicts Ichikawa Yonezo as the Ghost of Oiwa, a haunting figure that has captivated audiences for centuries. Created by Enjaku, a renowned artist of the Edo period, this piece showcases the exquisite artistry and theatricality of kabuki acting in 19th century Japan. In this full-length portrait, Yonezo embodies the eerie presence of Oiwa's ghost with remarkable intensity. His expression is both ethereal and tormented, conveying the anguish and vengeance associated with this iconic character. The vibrant colors used in the print add an otherworldly quality to his appearance, heightening the sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding him. The detailed depiction of Yonezo's costume highlights not only his skill as an actor but also serves as a testament to Japanese artistic traditions. Every fold and pattern on his garment is meticulously rendered, showcasing the mastery of ukiyo-e printing techniques during this time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to a bygone era where actors like Ichikawa Yonezo brought stories to life through their performances. This artwork serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and its enduring fascination with tales from beyond the grave. Enjaku's portrayal captures our imagination and invites us into a world where phantoms roam freely - reminding us that even in death, art has the power to transcend time and connect
