Memorial Portrait of the Actor Segawa Senjo (Segawa Kikunojo III), 1810 - Capturing the Essence of Kabuki Drama
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour woodblock print, created by Shunsho in 1810, immortalizes the renowned kabuki actor Segawa Senjo (also known as Segawa Kikunojo III) during Japan's Edo period. The artistry and attention to detail showcased in this piece make it a true gem within the arts of Asia collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. In this memorial portrait, Segawa Senjo is depicted kneeling with utmost grace and elegance, embodying his onnagata role as a female impersonator. With delicate calligraphy adorning the print, it pays homage to both his talent and legacy within Japanese theatre. The artist skillfully captures not only Senjo's physical appearance but also his character and spirit. Through subtle nuances in posture and expression, one can sense the depth of emotion that he brought to each performance. This portrayal serves as a testament to Kabuki's ability to transcend gender boundaries while captivating audiences with its dramatic flair. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an era when kabuki was at its peak popularity. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage embedded within Japan's theatrical traditions. This Memorial Portrait serves as a poignant reminder that even after death, great actors like Segawa Senjo continue to inspire generations through their artistic contributions.
