EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ichikawa Monnosuke II as Minamoto no Yorinobu in the Play Kikujido Shuen no Iwaya," dates back to the 18th century in Japan. The print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases the actor Ichikawa Monnosuke II in the role of Minamoto no Yorinobu, a character from the Kikujido Shuen no Iwaya play. The scene was performed at the Morita Theater in the eleventh month of 1775. Monnosuke II is depicted in traditional Edo period apparel, wearing a cream-colored hosoban robe, which is a narrow-width robe with a bold, vertical stripe design. He is seen holding a fan in one hand and a handheld prop, possibly a boat oar, in the other. The actor's dramatic pose and intense expression convey the emotion and energy of the Kabuki theater, a popular form of entertainment during the time. The print is a center sheet of a triptych, which was a common format for woodblock prints during the eighteenth century. The Katsukawa School, of which Shunsho was a part, was known for its artistic innovations and contributions to the world of Kabuki acting. This print is a testament to the school's dedication to capturing the essence of the actors and their performances. The intricate details of the print, from the textured fabric of the robe to the delicate folds of the actor's clothing, demonstrate the masterful skill of the artist. The use of color, particularly the cream hue, adds depth and dimension to the image, transporting us back in time to the world of Kabuki theater in Japan during the Edo period.
