EDITORS COMMENTS
This diptych print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho in 1773, showcases two prominent Kabuki actors of the Edo period: Bando Mitsugoro I as Hata no Kawakatsu and Otani Hiroemon III as the manservant Gansuke. The scene is taken from the play "Miya-bashira Iwao no Butai," which was performed at the Morita Theater on the fifteenth day of the seventh month that year. Mitsugoro I, dressed in a striking hosoban kimono with vibrant orange accents, portrays Hata no Kawakatsu, a character known for his strength and determination. His serious expression and powerful stance convey the intensity of the role. To his left, Otani Hiroemon III, dressed as the manservant Gansuke, dons a more subdued outfit. His attire includes a simple kimono with a checkered pattern and a straw hat, reflecting the humble nature of his character. His relaxed posture and gentle expression convey a sense of loyalty and devotion to his master. The intricate details in the print, such as the textured fabric and the expressive facial features, highlight the skill and artistry of Shunsho and the Katsukawa School. The use of color woodblock printing adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a valuable piece of Asian artistic heritage. This print offers a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater during the eighteenth century, showcasing the fashion, drama, and entertainment that captivated audiences in Japan.
