EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases an okubi-e portrait of the esteemed actor Segawa Kikunojo III in the role of Oshizu. The image captures a moment from the play Hana-ayame bunroku soga, which was performed at the Miyakoza theater in May 1794. In this portrayal, Segawa Kikunojo III embodies Oshizu, the wife of Tanabe Bunzo. His expressive face and intricate costume draw us into his character's world, transporting us to late 18th century Japan. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every fold of fabric and delicate brushstroke capturing the essence of traditional Japanese attire. The artist behind this masterpiece is Toshusai Sharaku, a renowned figure in Japanese art during his brief period of activity from 1794 to 1795. His unique style combines realism with a touch of exaggeration, resulting in portraits that are both lifelike and theatrical. This print allows us to appreciate not only Sharaku's artistic genius but also Segawa Kikunojo III's talent as an actor. It serves as a testament to their contributions to Japanese culture and theatre during this time period. Whether you are drawn by its historical significance or simply captivated by its beauty, this okubi-e portrait offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of Japan's late eighteenth century.
