EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danzo III in the role of Kamakura no Gongoro Kagemasa in the play "Otokoyama Yunzei Kurabe," performed at the Ichimura Theater in the eleventh month of 1768. The print offers a glimpse into the rich world of Edo period Japanese theater and the artistic school of Katsukawa. Ichikawa Danzo III, also known as Danjuro III, is depicted wearing a brown hosoban kimono, a traditional Japanese garment with a narrow design, adorned with intricate geometric patterns. The actor's serious expression and intense gaze convey the depth of his character, Kagemasa, a member of the Minamoto clan. The print is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of the Katsukawa School, which was known for its innovative approach to printmaking. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing the overall visual impact. The setting of the print is not explicitly stated, but the traditional clothing, theatrical apparel, and the use of the term "Yunzei Kurabe" suggest that this is a scene from a Kabuki play. Kabuki was a popular form of Japanese drama that originated in the late sixteenth century and was known for its elaborate costumes, dramatic performances, and rich cultural heritage. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, offering a unique insight into the world of Edo period Japanese theater and the artistic innovations of the Katsukawa School. The intricate design, bold use of color, and the intense expression of the actor make this a truly captivating work of art.
