EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome woodblock print, titled "Kairaishi Actor Ichimura Takenojo VIII Role Puppeteer" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Edo-period Japan. Created around 1715 by Torii Kiyomasu, a renowned Japanese artist active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this artwork beautifully captures a scene from a kabuki play. In the foreground, we see Ichimura Takenojo VII, identified by his crest-adorned robe, skillfully manipulating puppets with intricate strings. His expressive gestures and intense focus bring these inanimate figures to life before our eyes. The attention to detail is remarkable - each puppet's delicate features are meticulously crafted with ink on paper. The setting transports us to Yoshiwara, the famous pleasure district of Edo. A courtesan stops in her tracks as she encounters this itinerant puppeteer on the bustling streets. Her curiosity piqued, she pauses to enjoy this unique form of entertainment that was common enough during those times. Measuring approximately 11 x 16 inches (279 x 406 cm), this print showcases Artokoloro's commitment to preserving historical art forms for future generations. As we gaze upon this masterpiece today, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless beauty and cultural significance.
